Recent advances in C(sp3)–H bond functionalization via metal–carbene insertions

چکیده
The recent development of intermolecular C-H insertion in the application of C(sp(3))-H bond functionalizations, especially for light alkanes, is reviewed. The challenging problem of regioselectivity in C-H bond insertions has been tackled by the use of sterically bulky metal catalysts, such as metal porphyrins and silver(I) complexes. In some cases, high regioselectivity and enantioselectivity have been achieved in the C-H bond insertion of small alkanes. This review highlights the most recent accomplishments in this field.

متن کاملRecent advances in C-S bond formation via C-H bond functionalization and decarboxylation.
The development of mild and general methods for C-S bond formation has received significant attention because the C-S bond is indispensable in many important biological and pharmaceutical compounds. Early examples for the synthesis of C-S bonds are generally limited to the condensation reaction between a metal thiolate and an organic halide. Recent chemical approaches for C-S bond formation, ba...
متن کاملCopper-catalyzed intermolecular C(sp3)-H bond functionalization towards the synthesis of tertiary carbamates.
We describe the development of an intermolecular unactivated C(sp3)-H bond functionalization towards the direct synthesis of tertiary carbamates. The transformation proceeded using a readily available, abundant first-row transition metal catalyst (copper), and isocyanates as the source of the amide moiety. This is a novel strategy for direct transformation of a variety of unactivated hydrocarbo...
متن کاملSelective transition-metal-free vicinal cis-dihydroxylation of saturated hydrocarbons.
A transition-metal-free cis-dihydroxylation of saturated hydrocarbons under ambient reaction conditions has been developed. The described approach allows a direct and selective synthesis of vicinal diols. The new reaction thereby proceeds via radical iodination and a sequence of oxidation steps. A broad scope of one-pot dual C(sp3)-H bond functionalization for the selective synthesis of vicinal...
متن کاملChallenges and opportunities for alkane functionalisation using molecular catalysts
The conversion of vast low-value saturated hydrocarbons into valuable chemicals is of great interest. Thanks to the progression of organometallic and coordination chemistry, transition metal catalysed C sp3-H bond functionalisation has now become a powerful tool for alkane transformations. Specifically, methods for alkane functionalisation include radical initiated C-H functionalisation, carben...
