Abstract
An intermolecular enantioselective N-alkylation reaction of 1H-indoles has been developed by cooperative rhodium and chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed N-H bond insertion reaction. N-Alkyl indoles with newly formed stereocenter adjacent to the indole nitrogen atom are produced in good yields (up to 95 %) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99 % ee). Importantly, both α-aryl and α-alkyl diazoacetates are tolerated, which is extremely rare in asymmetric X-H (X=N, O, S et al.) and C-H insertion reactions. With this method, only 0.1 mol % of rhodium catalyst and 2.5 mol % of chiral phosphoric acid are required to complete the conversion as well as achieve the high enantioselectivity. Computational studies reveal the cooperative relay of rhodium and chiral phosphoric acid, and the origin of the chemo and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
A series of chiral bowl-shaped diruthenium(II,III) tetracarboxylate catalysts were prepared and evaluated in asymmetric cyclopropanations with donor/acceptor carbenes derived from aryldiazoacetates. The diruthenium catalysts self-assembled to generate C4-symmetric bowl-shaped structures in an analogous manner to their dirhodium counterparts. The optimum catalyst was found to be Ru2(S-TPPTTL)4·BArF [S-TPPTTL = (S)-2-(1,3-dioxo-4,5,6,7-tetraphenylisoindolin-2-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutanoate, BArF = tetrakis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)borate], which resulted in the cyclopropanation of a range of substrates in up to 94% ee. Synthesis and evaluation of first-row transition-metal congeners [Cu(II/II) and Co(II/II)] invariably resulted in catalysts that afforded little to no asymmetric induction. Computational studies indicate that the carbene complexes of these dicopper and dicobalt complexes, unlike the dirhodium and diruthenium systems, are prone to the loss of carboxylate ligands, which would destroy the bowl-shaped structure critical for asymmetric induction.

Abstract
Medium-sized ring-containing organic molecules, especially seven-membered rings, are significant structural motifs. However, such frameworks are considered difficult structures to access owing to entropic effects and transannular interactions. Compared to the construction of five and six-membered rings, the synthesis of seven-membered rings can be more challenging through traditional cyclization pathways. Büchner reactions are particularly attractive and efficient synthetic strategies to construct functionalized seven-membered ring products from the benzenoid double bond with carbene. In recent years, the field of transition-metal-catalyzed Büchner ring expansion reactions of alkynes has experienced a speedy development and a diverse array of efficient synthetic procedures have been disclosed under mild experimental conditions, as the synthesis of synthetically challenging seven-membered rings is easily achieved. In this review, we will focus on the recent progress in the transition-metal-catalyzed Büchner reaction of alkynes and the mechanistic rationale is depicted where possible, with the reactions being sorted according to the type of catalyst.

Abstract
A redox-neutral mild methodology for the allylic C-H alkylation of unactivated alkenes with diazo compounds is demonstrated. The developed protocol is able to bypass the possibility of the cyclopropanation of an alkene upon its reaction with the acceptor-acceptor diazo compounds. The protocol is highly accomplished due to its compatibility with various unactivated alkenes functionalized with different sensitive functional groups. A rhodacycle π-allyl intermediate has been synthesized and proved to be the active intermediate. Additional mechanistic investigations aided the elucidation of the plausible reaction mechanism.

Abstract
A highly regiospecific vinylogous carbene insertion protocol for direct asymmetric C-H functionalization of indoles with arylvinyldiazoacetates has been developed. Under the catalysis of simple Rh(I)/chiral diene complexes, the reaction occurs solely at the vinylogous position of the vinylcarbenoid with exceptional E selectivity and enantiocontrol. It provides an efficient way to obtain an interesting class of chiral indole scaffolds bearing an α,β-unsaturated ester unit and a gem-diaryl carbon stereocenter in good yields (≤99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (≤96%) at room temperature.

Abstract
Para-selective C-H functionalization of free phenols by metal carbenoids is rather challenging due to the generally more favorable competing O-H insertion. Herein, with the use of the combination of Rh(II) and a Xantphos ligand as the catalyst, a novel multicomponent reaction of free phenols, diazoesters, and allylic carbonates was successfully developed, affording a wide variety of phenol derivatives, bearing an all-carbon quaternary center and a synthetically useful allylic unit. This reaction is likely to occur through a tandem process of carbene-induced para-selective C-H functionalization, followed by Rh(II)/Xantphos-catalyzed allylation. The distinctive reactivity of para-selective C-H rather than O-H insertion for the carbenoid intermediate, combined with features of excellent functional group compatibility, high atom and step economy, and ease in further diversification of the products, might render this protocol highly attractive in facile functionalization of unprotected phenols.

Abstract
C-H functionalization has been emerging as a powerful method to establish carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Many efforts have been devoted to transition-metal-catalyzed direct transformations of C-H bonds. Metal carbenes generated in situ from transition-metal compounds and diazo or its equivalents are usually applied as the transient reactive intermediates to furnish a catalytic cycle for new C-C and C-X bond formation. Using this strategy compounds from unactivated simple alkanes to complex molecules can be further functionalized or transformed to multi-functionalized compounds. In this area, transition-metal-catalyzed carbene insertion to C-H bonds has been paid continuous attention. Diverse catalyst design strategies, synthetic methods, and potential applications have been developed. This critical review will summarize the advance in transition-metal-catalyzed carbene insertion to C-H bonds dated up to July 2021, by the categories of C-H bonds from aliphatic C(sp3)-H, aryl (aromatic) C(sp2)-H, heteroaryl (heteroaromatic) C(sp2)-H bonds, alkenyl C(sp2)-H, and alkynyl C(sp)-H, as well as asymmetric carbene insertion to C-H bonds, and more coverage will be given to the recent work. Due to the rapid development of the C-H functionalization area, future directions in this topic are also discussed. This review will give the authors an overview of carbene insertion chemistry in C-H functionalization with focus on the catalytic systems and synthetic applications in C-C bond formation.

Abstract
The simple synthetic procedure for preparation of α-aryl-α-diazophosphonates via a diazo transfer reaction is proposed. Benzylphosphonates reacted with tosyl azide (TsN3) in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide (KOtBu) to afford diazophosphonates in a yield up to 79%. The proposed method is general. The reaction uses easily available starting materials, tolerates various functional groups, and may be applied for multi-gram scale synthesis.

Abstract
An enantioselective cyclopropanation reaction of N-substituted 2-pyridones with diazo compounds has been realized by using a chiral rhodium complex as the catalyst, and the corresponding chiral cyclopropanes could be formed in good yields with high enantioselectivities. Moreover, using acceptor-acceptor dimethyl 2-diazomalonate as the carbene precursor, a novel 1,4-rearrangement of a Boc group from N to C has also been discovered under rhodium catalysis.

Abstract
A palladium catalyzed reaction of cycloalkanecarboxamides and diazomalonates or bis(phenylsulfonyl)diazomethane has been developed. The reaction proceeds via carbene migratory insertion and cascade C-C cleavage pathways. Cycloalkanecarboxamides with four to seven membered rings are applicable in the transformation. A series of ring opening products were prepared with moderate yields. The finding provides valuable clues for the development of new reactions involving carbene migratory insertion and the cleavage of unstrained C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds.

Abstract
The chiral dirhodium(ii) tetracarboxylate-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular Büchner reaction of donor/donor-carbenes was reported and a series of valuable chiral polycyclic products were synthesized. Both aryloxy enynones and diazo compounds were efficient carbene precursors for this reaction. Excellent yields (up to 99%) and outstanding enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) were achieved under standard conditions. For furyl substituted chiral cyclohepta[b]benzofurans bearing a substituent at the C4 position on cycloheptatrienes, control reactions showed that the chiral Büchner products could slowly racemize either under dark or natural light conditions. A diradical-involved mechanism rather than a zwitterionic intermediate was proposed to explain the racemization. Furthermore, furyl substituted chiral fluorene derivatives were obtained via asymmetric aromatic substitution when biaryl enynones were employed as carbene precursors. The chiral dirhodium(ii) tetracarboxylate-catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular Büchner reaction and aromatic substitution of donor/donor-carbenes were reported and a series of valuable chiral polycyclic products were synthesized.![]()

Abstract
By using diazonaphthoquinones and anilines as key reagents and through a point-to-axis chiral transfer strategy, the atroposelective synthesis via asymmetric C(sp2 )-H bond insertion reaction of arenes has been realized under rhodium catalysis, providing the resulting biaryl atropisomers in moderate to excellent yields with good enantiomeric ratios (up to 99:1). Further elaboration indicates this type of axially biaryl scaffold may have promising potentials in developing novel chiral ligands.

Abstract
Indolyl α-diazocarbonyl compounds have proven to be effective starting materials for the construction of various 2,3-ring fused indole frameworks. Activation of the diazo functional group under metal catalysis generates a spiro-cyclic indolenine-type intermediate which rearranges to provide two distinct carbazoles upon oxidation. The current study investigates the effects of the catalyst as well as the substituents on the migratory group involved in controlling the selectivity of the rearrangement.

Abstract
Catalytic ring expansion of activated heteroarenes through 1,4-dearomative addition of diazoacetates was established for the construction of various fused azepines by an elaborate control of the reaction kinetics at each step. The use of a silver catalyst was essential to drive the overall reaction for generating the desired seven-membered azepines. Because of the excellent substrate scope and selectivity, the developed methodology presents an innovative approach for the synthesis of multifused azepines, which are biologically relevant molecules.

Abstract
Here, we report the first asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-talassimidine and (+)-talassamine, two hetidine-type C20-diterpenoid alkaloids. A highly regio- and diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an azomethine ylide yielded a chiral tetracyclic intermediate in high enantiopurity, thus providing the structural basis for asymmetric assembly of the hexacyclic hetidine skeleton. In this key step, the introduction of a single chiral center induces four new continuous chiral centers. Another key transformation is the dearomative cyclopropanation of the benzene ring and subsequent SN2-like ring opening of the resultant cyclopropane ring with water as a nucleophile, which not only establishes the B ring but also precisely installs the difficult-to-achieve equatorial C7-OH group.

Abstract
Arene dearomatization is a straightforward method for converting an aromatic feedstock into functionalized carbocycles. Enantioselective dearomatizations of chemically inert arenes, however, are quite limited and underexplored relative to those of phenols and indoles. We developed a method for diazo-free generation of silver-carbene species from an ynamide and applied it to the dearomatization of nonactivated arenes. Transiently generated norcaradiene could be trapped by intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition, synthesizing polycycles with five consecutive stereogenic centers. This protocol constitutes the first highly enantioselective reaction based on the diazo-free generation of silver-carbene species. Mechanistic investigations revealed a dearomatization followed by two different classes of pericyclic reactions, as well as the origin of the chemo- and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
The conversion of 1,3-diaryl-2-diazo-1,3-diketones to 1,2-daryl-1,2-diketones (benzils) is reported based on a rhodium(II)-catalyzed aerobic decomposition process. The reaction occurs at ambient temperatures and can be catalyzed by a few dirhodium carboxylates (5 mol %) under a balloon pressure of oxygen. Moreover, an oxygen atom from the O2 reagent is shown to be incorporated into the product, and this is accompanied by the extrusion of a carbonyl unit from the starting materials. Mechanistically, it is proposed that the decomposition may proceed via the interaction of a ketene intermediate resulting from a Wolff rearrangement of the carbenoid, with a rhodium peroxide or peroxy radical species generated upon the activation of molecular oxygen. The proposed mechanism has been supported by the results from a set of controlled experiments. By using this newly developed strategy, a large array of benzil derivatives as well as 9,10-phenanthrenequinone were synthesized from the corresponding diazo substrates in varying yields. On the other hand, the method did not allow the generation of benzocyclobutene-1,2-dione from 2-diazo-1,3-indandione because of the difficulty of inducing the initial rearrangement.

Abstract
A Schiff-base nickel(II)-phosphene-catalyzed chemodivergent C-H functionalization and cyclopropanation of aromatic heterocycles is reported in moderate to excellent yields and very good regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. The weak, noncovalent interaction between the phosphene ligand and Ni center facilitates the ligand dissociation, generating the electronically and coordinatively unsaturated active catalyst. The proposed mechanisms for the reported reactions are in good accord with the experimental results and theoretical calculations, providing a suitable model of stereocontrol for the cyclopropanation reaction.

Abstract
Herein, we described the synthesis of two L-phenylalanines α-derivatized with a terminal alkyne moiety whose structures differed by phenyl ring halogen substitution (two o-Cl in 1 vs. one p-Br in 2) and investigated their effect on biological macromolecules and living cells. We explored their interaction with quadruplex DNA (G4 DNA), using tel26 and c-myc as models, and bovine serum albumin (BSA). By CD spectroscopy, we found that 1 caused minor tel26 secondary structure changes, leading also to a slight thermal stabilization of this hybrid antiparallel/parallel G4 structure, while the c-myc parallel topology remained essentially unchanged upon 1 binding. Other CD evidences showed the ability of 1 to bind BSA, while molecular docking studies suggested that the same molecule could be housed into the hydrophobic cavity between sub-domains IIA, IIB, and IIIA of the protein. Furthermore, preliminary aggregation studies, based on concentration-dependent spectroscopic experiments, suggested the ability of 1 to aggregate forming noncovalent polymeric systems in aqueous solution. Differently from 1, the bromine-modified compound was able to bind Cu(II) ion, likely with the formation of a CuL2 complex, as found by UV spectroscopy. Finally, cell tests excluded any cytotoxic effect of both compounds toward normal cells, but showed slight antiproliferative effects of 2 on PC3 cancerous cells at 24 h, and of 1 on both T98G and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells at 48 h.

Abstract
In catalytic asymmetric reactions, the formation of chiral molecules generally relies on a direct chirality transfer (point or axial chirality) from a chiral catalyst to products in the stereo-determining step. Herein, we disclose a transient-axial-chirality transfer strategy to achieve asymmetric reaction. This method relies on transferring point chirality from the catalyst to a dirhodium carbene intermediate with axial chirality, namely a transient-axial-chirality since this species is an intermediate of the reaction. The transient chirality is then transferred to the final product by C(sp2)-H functionalization reaction with exceptionally high enantioselectivity. We also generalize this strategy for the asymmetric cascade reaction involving dual carbene/alkyne metathesis (CAM), a transition-metal-catalyzed method to access chiral 9-aryl fluorene frameworks in high yields with up to 99% ee. Detailed DFT calculations shed light on the mode of the transient-axial-chirality transfer and the detailed mechanism of the CAM reaction.

Abstract
Diazo compounds are versatile reagents in chemical synthesis and biology due to the tunable reactivity of the diazo functionality and its compatibility with living systems. Much effort has been made in recent years to explore their accessibility and synthetic potential; however, their preparation through stereoselective enzymatic asymmetric synthesis has been scarcely reported in the literature. Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs, also called ketoreductases, KREDs) are powerful redox enzymes able to reduce carbonyl compounds in a highly stereoselective manner. Herein, we have developed the synthesis and subsequent bioreduction of nine α-diazo-β-keto esters to give optically active α-diazo-β-hydroxy esters with potential applications as chiral building blocks in chemical synthesis. Therefore, the syntheses of prochiral α-diazo-β-keto esters bearing different substitution patterns at the adjacent position of the ketone group (N3CH2, ClCH2, BrCH2, CH3OCH2, NCSCH2, CH3, and Ph) and in the alkoxy portion of the ester functionality (Me, Et, and Bn), were carried out through the diazo transfer reaction to the corresponding β-keto esters in good to excellent yields (81–96%). After performing the chemical reduction of α-diazo-β-keto esters with sodium borohydride and developing robust analytical conditions to monitor the biotransformations, their bioreductions were exhaustively studied using in-house made Escherichia coli overexpressed and commercially available KREDs. Remarkably, the corresponding α-diazo-β-hydroxy esters were obtained in moderate to excellent conversions (60 to >99%) and high selectivities (85 to >99% ee) after 24 h at 30 °C. The best biotransformations in terms of conversion and enantiomeric excess were successfully scaled up to give the expected chiral alcohols with almost the same activity and selectivity values observed in the enzyme screening experiments.

Abstract
A highly chemoselective reaction between 5-aminoisoxazoles and α-diazocarbonyl compounds has been described. Both Wolff rearrangement and N-H insertion products can be obtained selectively by the judicious choice of reaction conditions. In the case of the Wolff rearrangement reactions, the N-isoxazole amides are accessed as the sole products under thermal conditions. On the other hand, α-amino acid derivatives of N-isoxazolescan be obtained through N-H insertion reactions in the presence of catalytic Rh2(Oct)4. Both reactions proceed under mild reaction conditions and feature a broad substrate scope.

Abstract
Enantioselective cyclopropanation and C-H insertion reactions of α-substituted vinyl ketones with α-diazoesters have been accomplished using a N,N'-dioxide-scandium(iii) complex catalyst. Various tetrasubstituted cyclopropanes and E-enone derivatives bearing a chiral ester substituent were obtained simultaneously with good yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
