Abstract

The reactions of α-diazocarbonyl compound with organoboron compounds have been previously reported to form a C−C bond between alkyl or aryl and an α carbon of carbonyl group.(3-7) Pioneering work by Hooz and co-workers established the alkylation of diazonitrile, ethyl diazoacetate, and diazoketones by means of trialkylboranes.(3) The reactions reported by Hooz are only limited to alkylboranes, and the reaction is sluggish with poor yields for organoboranes ...
