Abstract:The following review will explore the historical development of Si-H bond insertion reactions, giving an up-to-date account on the metal catalysts often employed, in addition to an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. Diazo compounds have great synthetic potential as versatile reagents for the formation of metal carbenes, allowing the selective formation of C-C and C-heteroatom bonds and thus the introduction of functional groups into organic molecules. C-Si bond-forming methods, that introduce silico… Show more
“…by the metal-catalyzed carbene insertion into C-H and X-H functionalities, respectively. Since the first example of the copper-catalyzed O-H insertion by diazoketones reported in the 1950s, 147 the diazo-based carbene transfer into C-H and X-H bonds has been widely investigated and reviewed 3,5,6,[148][149][150][151][152][153][154] highlighting dirhodium(II) complexes as the most efficient catalysts, particularly for promoting C-H activations.…”
Section: Carbene Insertion Into C-h and X-h Bondsmentioning
This review provides an overview of the catalytic activity of iron complexes of nitrogen ligands in driving carbene transfers towards CC, C–H and X–H bonds. The reactivity of diazo reagents is discussed as well as the proposed reaction mechanisms.

“…Their ability to insert between CÀH and heteroatom-H bonds is well documented. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24] In this respect, organic diazo reagents have had a profound influence as the carbene precursors. [25] However, the utility of these reagents is underrepresented in non-transition metal catalysis.…”
Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane-catalyzed CÀC bond functionalization of arylallyl alcohols using donor-acceptor carbenes is presented. The allylic hydroxyl group is found to assist the product formation by neighboring group participation providing a clue towards mechanistic understanding. This method can also be employed to effect homologation of allyl alcohols to homoallyl alcohols. Overall, this metal-free transformation presents a novel disconnection strategy towards carbon-carbon bond scission and formation.
“…In furthering Zhou's initial report [76], Ollevier and co-workers [77] recently described carbene insertions, starting with 229, into Si-H bonds, leading to a wide variety of silylated products [18]. The original work by Zhou included asymmetric carbenoid insertions using spiro-bisimine ligand L25 at cryogenic temperatures (Scheme 39A).…”

Numerous reactions generating C-Si and C-B bonds are in focus owing to the importance of incorporating silicon or boron into new or existing drugs, in addition to their use as building blocks in cross-coupling reactions en route to various targets of both natural and unnatural origins. In this review, recent protocols relying on copper-catalyzed sp 3 carbon-silicon and carbon-boron bond-forming reactions are discussed.
