Acetate/Alkoxide/Halide Shuttle Systems Mediated by Lewis Acid Catalysts for Insertion Reaction of a One-Carbon Unit into Carbon–Carbon or Carbon–Halogen Bonds
Abstract:In this account, we describe series of our research on a Lewis acid-catalyzed insertion reaction of α-diazo esters into a carbon–carbon bond or a carbon–halogen bond. Indium catalysts mediated not only the insertion of α-diazo esters into a carbon–carbon bond of alkyl acetates, alkyl ethers, acetals, and alkyl halides, but also a carbon–halogen bond of alkyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides. BF3 specifically accelerated the insertion of α-diazo esters into a carbon–fluorine bond. The key of this catalysis is a… Show more
