amide carbeneinsertion into C–H bonds, yielding γ-lactams with 91% ee in up to 99% yield. This reaction uses a ruthenium(II) phenyl oxazoline (Ru(II)-Pheox) complex. The catalytic intramolecular carbenetransferreaction to the primary C–H bond proceeds rapidly and selectively compared to that with secondary C–H, benzylic secondary C–H, tert-C–H, or sp2C–H bonds in the presence of 1 mol % Ru(II)-Pheox
The axial coordination of N-heterocycliccarbene ligands onto dirhodium(II) complexes was examined, together with its role in the intramolecular C-H insertion reactions of α-diazoacetamides. The formation of a decarbonylated product occurs by a free-carbene mechanism in which the structures of the catalyst and the acetamide play a decisive role. carbenoids - carbenecomplexes - catalysis - diazo compounds

insertion of diazo-acetamides catalysed by di-rhodium(II) complexes can be highly influenced by the axial ligand on the di-rhodium(II) complex. Axially monocoordinated NHC–Rh2(OAc)4 complexes have a distinct reactivity from the parent Rh2(OAc)4 complex affording the cyclisation products in different rates and selectivities. Surprisingly, a new reaction mode emerged when using these complexes which led
