A thorough mechanistic investigation has been performed on the reactions of primary and secondary amines with diazoacetates, which proceed uniquely quickly and efficiently when catalyzed by iron(III) corroles and porphyrins. Two major differences in relation to other metal-based catalysts are that the iron complexes are not poisoned by excess amine and that metal-carbene intermediates are apparently
