Efficient palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of α-diazocarbonyl compounds and arylboronic acids or arylhalides have been developed. The reaction proceeds smoothly for a range of diazo compounds, boronic acids, and halides. The coupling reaction conditions tolerate various substituents on the aromatic rings of the substrates, such as chloro, fluoro, acyl, oxo, ester, and nitro groups. This
We present a new [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between alkyl–acceptor diazoalkanes under visible light irradiation. By employing easily accessible alkyl–acceptor-type diazoalkanes or their precursor hydrazones as both 1,3-dipoles and dipolarophiles, a diverse range of pyrazoline derivatives featuring a quaternary center have been efficiently synthesized in a predictable manner, with excellent functional
