Selective transformation of C-F bonds remains a significant goal in organic chemistry, but C-F insertion of a one-carbon-atom unit has never been established. Herein we report the BF3-catalyzed formal insertion of diazo esters as one-carbon-atom sources into C-F bonds to accomplish one-carbon elongation of benzylic fluorides. A DFT calculation study revealed that the BF3 catalyst could contribute to both C-F bond cleavage and re-formation. This elongation provided α-fluoro-α,β-diaryl esters with a high level of diastereoselectivity. Various benzylic fluorides and diazo esters were applicable. The synthetic utility of this method was demonstrated by the synthesis of a fluoro analogue of a compound that is used as a transient receptor and potential canonical channel inhibitor.

We report the catalytic enantio- and diastereoselective preparation of aminocyclopropanes by the cyclopropanation of terminal and (Z)-internal 2-azadienes with donor/acceptor carbenes derived from α-diazoesters. The resulting cyclopropanes bear quaternary carbon stereogenic centers vicinal to the amino-substituted carbon and are formed as a single diastereomer in up to 99:1 er and 97% yield with 0.5 mol % of Rh2(DOSP)4 and only 1.5 equiv of the diazo reagent. Transformations with internal azadienes afford cyclopropanes with three contiguous stereogenic centers.

An intermolecular tandem reaction for the rapid build-up of densely functionalised α-alkoxy-β-oxo-esters has been developed. This novel process applies the easy to handle trimethyl orthoformate as a C1-building block in the rhodium(ii)-catalysed alkoxylation/acetalization of donor-acceptor substituted diazo compounds. The concomitant C-O/C-C bond formation reaction gives products with unique quaternary carbon centers, substituted by groups of different oxidation level (ester, protected aldehyde and alkoxide).

Rhodium(II)-catalyzed reactions of aryldiazoacetates can be conducted in the presence of iodide, triflate, organoboron, and organostannane functionality, resulting in the formation of a variety of cyclopropanes or C-H insertion products with high stereoselectivity. The combination of the rhodium(II)-catalyzed reaction with a subsequent palladium(II)-catalyzed Suzuki coupling offers a novel strategy for diversity synthesis.
