Electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a powerful tool for introducing oxygen functional groups in synthetic chemistry. However, compared with the well-developed one-electron oxygen reduction process, the applications of two-electron oxygen re

A mild method for accessing diazo compounds via aerobic oxidation of hydrazones is described. This catalytic transformation employs a Cu(OAc)2/pyridine catalyst and molecular oxygen from ambient air as the terminal oxidant, generating water as the sole byproduct and affording the desired diazo compounds within minutes at room temperature. A broad array of electronically diverse aryldiazo esters, ketones, and amides can be accessed. Pyridine dramatically enhances the rate of the reaction by solubilizing the copper catalyst and serving as the Br?nsted base in the turnover-limiting proton-coupled oxidation of hydrazone by copper(II). Insights gained from mechanistic studies led to expansion of the scope of this method to include diaryl hydrazones, delivering diaryl diazomethane derivatives, which cannot be accessed via established diazo transfer methods. The products of this method may be employed in rhodium carbene catalysis without isolation of the diazo intermediate to afford cyclopropane products in good yield with high enantioselectivity.

A new method for the synthesis of chiral diene rhodium catalysts is introduced. The readily available racemic tetrafluorobenzobarrelene complexes [(R2-TFB)RhCl]2 were separated into two enantiomers via selective coordination of one of them with the auxiliary S-salicyl-oxazoline ligand. One of the resulting chiral complexes with an exceptionally bulky diene ligand [(R,R-iPr2-TFB)RhCl]2 was an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric insertion of diazoesters into B?H and Si?H bonds giving the functionalized organoboranes and silanes with high yields (79–97 %) and enantiomeric purity (87–98 % ee). The stereoselectivity of separation via auxiliary ligand and that of the catalytic reaction was predicted by DFT calculations.

Despite their wide use in academia as metal-carbene precursors, diazo compounds are often avoided in industry owing to concerns over their instability, exothermic decomposition, and potential explosive behavior. The stability of sulfonyl azides and other diazo transfer reagents is relatively well understood, but there is little reliable data available for diazo compounds. This work first collates available sensitivity and thermal analysis data for diazo transfer reagents and diazo compounds to act as an accessible reference resource. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) data for the model donor/acceptor diazo compound ethyl (phenyl)diazoacetate are presented. We also present a rigorous DSC dataset with 43 other diazo compounds, enabling direct comparison to other energetic materials to provide a clear reference work to the academic and industrial chemistry communities. Interestingly, there is a wide range of onset temperatures (Tonset) for this series of compounds, which varied between 75 and 160 °C. The thermal stability variation depends on the electronic effect of substituents and the amount of charge delocalization. A statistical model is demonstrated to predict the thermal stability of differently substituted phenyl diazoacetates. A maximum recommended process temperature (TD24) to avoid decomposition is estimated for selected diazo compounds. The average enthalpy of decomposition (?"HD) for diazo compounds without other energetic functional groups is-102 kJ mol-1. Several diazo transfer reagents are analyzed using the same DSC protocol and found to have higher thermal stability, which is in general agreement with the reported values. For sulfonyl azide reagents, an average ?"HD of-201 kJ mol-1 is observed. High-quality thermal data from ARC experiments shows the initiation of decomposition for ethyl (phenyl)diazoacetate to be 60 °C, compared to that of 100 °C for the common diazo transfer reagent p-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl azide (p-ABSA). The Yoshida correlation is applied to DSC data for each diazo compound to provide an indication of both their impact sensitivity (IS) and explosivity. As a neat substance, none of the diazo compounds tested are predicted to be explosive, but many (particularly donor/acceptor diazo compounds) are predicted to be impact-sensitive. It is therefore recommended that manipulation, agitation, and other processing of neat diazo compounds are conducted with due care to avoid impacts, particularly in large quantities. The full dataset is presented to inform chemists of the nature and magnitude of hazards when using diazo compounds and diazo transfer reagents. Given the demonstrated potential for rapid heat generation and gas evolution, adequate temperature control and cautious addition of reagents that begin a reaction are strongly recommended when conducting reactions with diazo compounds.

This Letter describes the metal-free, blue-light-induced [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of sulfonium ylides generated from donor/acceptor diazoalkanes and propargyl sulfides. The reaction furnishes highly functionalized allenes from a broad range of starting materials in decent yield. Mechanistic experiments supported by the literature data suggest singlet carbenes as intermediates in this reaction.

Two hydrazones featuring a unique excitation wavelength-dependent dual fluorescence emission have been developed. The mixing extent of the two emission bands can be modulated by tuning the excitation wavelength, resulting in multicolor and even white light emission from structurally simple hydrazones.

Rhodium(ii)/phosphine-cocatalyzed bis-sulfuration of α-diazocarbonyl compounds using thiosulfonates as the sulfenylating agent, which provided two sulfur-containing moieties, was developed via simultaneous inter- and intra-molecular C-S bond formation. This novel protocol provides a rapid synthetic route to dithioketal derivatives in moderate to good yields in an atom-economic process. The transformation is proposed to proceed through phosphine ylide formation followed by S(O2)-S bond cleavage and rearrangement.

Palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization of acyldiazomethanes with aryl iodides has been developed. This reaction is featured by the retention of the diazo functionality in the transformation, thus constituting a novel method for the introduction of diazo functionality to organic molecules. Consistent with the experimental results, the density functional theory (DFT) calculation indicates that the formation of Pd-carbene species in the catalytic cycle through dinitrogen extrusion from the palladium ethyl diazoacetate (Pd-EDA) complex is less favorable. The reaction instead proceeds through Ag2CO3 assisted deprotonation and subsequently reductive elimination to afford the products with diazo functionality remained. This C-H functionalization transformation can be further combined with the recently evolved palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of diazo compounds with aryl iodides to develop a tandem coupling process for the synthesis of α,α-diaryl esters. DFT calculation supports the involvement of Pd-carbene as reactive intermediate in the catalytic cycle, which goes through facile carbene migratory insertion with a low energy barrier (3.8 kcal/mol).

A new olefination protocol for transition-metal-free cross-coupling of two carbene fragments arising from two different sources, namely, a nonfluorinated carbene fragment resulting from a diazo compound and a difluorocarbene fragment derived from Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMSCF3) or TMSCF2Br, has been developed. This gem-difluoroolefination proceeds through the direct nucleophilic addition of diazo compounds to difluorocarbene followed by elimination of N2. Compared to previously reported Cu-catalyzed gem-difluoroolefination of diazo compounds with TMSCF3, which possesses a narrow substrate scope due to a demanding requirement on the reactivity of diazo compounds and in-situ-generated CuCF3, this transition-metal-free protocol affords a general and efficient approach to various disubstituted 1,1-difluoroalkenes, including difluoroacrylates, diaryldifluoroolefins, as well as arylalkyldifluoroolefins. In view of the ready availability of diazo compounds and difluorocarbene reagents and versatile transformations of 1,1-difluoroalkenes, this new gem-difluoroolefination method is expected to find wide applications in organic synthesis.

Palladium(0)-catalyzed deacylative cross-coupling of aryl iodides and acyldiazocarbonyl compounds can be achieved at room temperature under mild reaction conditions. The coupling reaction represents a highly efficient and general method for the synthesis of aryldiazocarbonyl compounds, which have found wide and increasing applications as precursors for generating donor/acceptor-substituted metallocarbenes.
