The complexes TpXCu (TpX = homoscorpionate) catalyse the insertion of diazo compounds into nitrogen-hydrogen bonds of amines and amides, under very mild conditions, with quantitative yields being obtained with equimolar ratios of reactants.

A tandem relay catalytic protocol using both Pd and isothiourea catalysis has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of α-amino acid derivatives containing two stereogenic centers from readily accessible N,N-disubstituted glycine aryl esters and allylic phosphates. The optimized process uses a bench-stable succinimide-based Pd precatalyst (FurCat) to promote Pd-catalyzed allylic ammonium salt generation from the allylic phosphate and the glycine aryl ester. Subsequent in situ enantioselective [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement catalyzed by the isothiourea benzotetramisole forms syn-α-amino acid derivatives with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. This methodology is most effective using 4-nitrophenylglycine esters and tolerates a variety of substituted cinnamic and styrenyl allylic ethyl phosphates. The use of challenging unsymmetrical N-allyl-N-methylglycine esters is also tolerated under the catalytic relay conditions without compromising stereoselectivity.

A water-soluble Ru(II)-hm-pheox complex was efficiently catalyzed NH insertion of EDA with a broad class of amine derivatives in water/ether biphasic medium to deliver the biologically active precursors α-aminoester products with excellent yields (up to >99%). The products were separated by decantation and the catalyst was washed and reused several times (at least 8 times) without any specific loss of its catalytic activity. The plausible mechanism of the reaction was explained. Additionally, In case of ethylene diamine, the NH insertion product could be transformed to biological active piperazinone compound in high yield. The asymmetric version of this catalytic reaction is under investigation.
