Aryl/aryl diazoalkanes in rhodium(II)-catalyzed rearrangements of sulfur ylides

Lennard Kloene, Sripati Jana, Claire Empel, Rene M. Koenigs Detailed studies on aryl/aryl diazoalkanes are still underrepresented in organic synthesis. Herein, we report on rhodium-catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reactions of such diazoalkanes to further broaden the applicability of aryl/aryl diazoalkanes for the construction of densely functionalized small molecules.
