Abstract

The development of new transition-metal-catalyzed methods for selective functionalization of carbon–hydrogen bonds continues to be an active area of research.[1] Whereas many transition-metal complexes exhibit activity,[1] rhodium (II) dimers [1c, 2] are well established to react with a-diazo compounds [3, 4] or sulfonyliminoiodinanes [5, 6] to access metal carbenoids or nitrenoids, which can functionalize proximal aliphatic CÀH bonds to form ...
