Considering the recent rapid advancement of synthetic technologies promoted by visible
light in the last 15 years, the use of photocatalysts has been rightfully justified based on the …

In recent years, visible light-induced reactions of diazo compounds have attracted
increasing attention in organic synthesis, leading to improvement of existing reactions, as …

A visible-light-promoted three component reaction of diazo compounds, nitriles, and
carboxylic acids is reported. The reaction utilizes acceptor-only diazo compounds as …

Cyclopropanes are one of the most important strained rings existing in various
pharmaceutical products and secondary metabolites. They are also widely used in total …

The metal-catalyzed carbenoid-based N–H insertions of α-stabilized diazo compounds and
relative precursors serve as robust strategies for the formation of C–N bonds. However …

In this computational study, we provide a detailed analysis of the underlying reaction
mechanism and show that a singlet carbene is initially formed. Depending on the p KA of the …

Cyclopropane-fused lactones are highly desirable in drug and natural products synthesis.
Herein, we report on a photochemical, chemoselective reaction of aryldiazoacetates with …

The traditional intermolecular O–H insertion strategy is typically associated with the reactivity
exhibited by the singlet spin state, or it can alter the spin state from triplet to singlet by …

Photochemistry provides green alternatives to traditional reaction conditions and opens up
routes toward products that are otherwise difficult to make. Recent work by Koenigs and co …

We report here theoretical and experimental studies that revealed two distinct modes of
reactivity of 1, 4-quinones (benzoquinone [BQ], 2-methyl benzoquinone [MBQ] …
