Carbenes are important intermediates in organic chemistry and have been widely applied various types of reactions, ranging from cycloaddition reactions sigmatropic rearrangements to C-H functionalizations, thus allowing the rapid construction densely functionalized molecules. Over past decades, remarkable progress has achieved metal-catalyzed carbene transfer reactions. Nevertheless, realizing these transformations under milder and/or greener conditions is still highly desirable. Only recently, visible light-promoted diazo compounds via free emerged as a practical, mild powerful tool. In this tutorial review, we summarize latest advances area, aiming at providing clear overview on reaction design, mechanistic scenarios potential future developments.

Enantioselective transition metal catalysis is an area very much at the forefront of contemporary synthetic research. The development processes that enable efficient synthesis enantiopure compounds unquestionable importance to chemists working within many diverse fields central science. Traditional approaches solving this challenge have typically relied on leveraging repulsive steric interactions between chiral ligands and substrates in order raise energy one diastereomeric states over other. By contrast, Review examines alternative tactic which a set attractive noncovalent operating are used control enantioselectivity. Examples where creative approach has been successfully applied render fundamental enantioselective presented discussed. In cases examined, ligand scaffold carefully designed accommodate these interactions, while others, critical was only elucidated subsequent computational mechanistic studies. Through exploration discussion recent reports encompassing wide range reaction classes, we hope inspire continue develop asymmetric transformations based powerful concept.

Abstract Recently, with the boosted development of radical chemistry, enantioselective functionalization C( sp 3 )–H bonds via a pathway has witnessed renaissance. In principle, two distinct catalytic modes, distinguished by steps in which stereochemistry is determined (the formation step or step), can be devised. This Perspective discusses state-of-the-art area involving intermediates as well future challenges and opportunities.
