Density functional theory calculations were used to systematically explore the effects of axial ligation by solvent molecules on the reactivity and selectivity of dirhodium tetracarboxylates with diazo compounds in the context of C–H insertion into propane. Insertions on three types of diazo compounds—acceptor/acceptor, donor/acceptor, and donor/donor—promoted by dirhodium tetraformate were tested with and without axial solvent ligation for no surrounding solvent, dichloromethane, isopropanol, and acetonitrile. Magnitudes, origins, and consequences of structural and electronic changes arising from axial ligation were characterized. The results suggest that axial ligation affects barriers for N2 extrusion and C–H insertion, the former to a larger extent.

An unprecedented copper(I)-catalyzed vinylation of (donor)-acceptor diazo compounds with VinylBenziodoXolone reagents (VBX) as partners is reported. The transformation tolerates variation of both donor- and acceptor substituents on the diazo compounds, delivering the corresponding benzoylated allylic alcohol products in good to excellent yields. Through the development of a protocol for the synthesis of functionalized alkanes-, dienes- and enynes-substituted VBX reagents, a broad scope of substituents on the alkene could be accessed. The obtained products contain synthetically versatile functional groups, such as an aryl iodide, an ester and an allylic leaving group, enabling selective further modification.

A silver triflimide catalyzed one-pot protocol for the diastereoselective synthesis of dihydrobenzoxepines has been developed. Silver triflimide found to be an efficient catalyst for the formal (5+2)-cycloaddition to access dihydrobenzoxepines as a single diastereomer using vinyl diazo compounds as 5-C-synthons and ketones. An unmet challenge of utilizing the donor-/acceptor-type vinyl diazosuccinimides as 5-C-synthons under silver-catalysis is presented. This protocol found to be highly regio-, chemo- and diastereoselective, and works well with aliphatic as well as aromatic methyl ketones bearing electron deactivating as well as donating groups to afford dihydrobenzo[5,6]oxepino[2,3-c]pyrroles with a broad substrates scope. The control experiments and time dependent NMR studies revealed the plausible mechanism of this transformation. The protocol also proved to be scalable on the gram scale synthesis.
