Abstract:The author's chemical studies dealing with the generation of carbonyl ylides via the rhodium(II) induced cyclization of α‐diazo alkanediones are summarized, Dipole formation occurs by reaction of a transient rhodium carbenoid intermediate with a neighboring carbonyl group. These cyclizations are performed under extremely mild conditions, typically at room temperature in a neutral organic solvent. Since these cycloadditions involve carbonyl ylides, the resulting products are oxabicycles of varying ring size. Wh… Show more
“…Since then, the chemistry of ylides grew rapidly and they have now become powerful and versatile synthetic tools in the arsenal of organic chemists. In addition to the synthetically important phosphonium and sulfonium ylides, ylides of other heteroatoms, namely ammonium, azomethine, pyridinium, nitrile, aminosulfoxonium, thiophenium, thiocarbonyl, 6c,6f carbonyl, , As, Sb, 12a,b, Bi, 12a,b Se, Te, 14a, Ge, Sn, and I 17 have been developed and reviewed in recent years. …”
