Abstract

Abstract Ethyl halodiazoacetates react with a range of substrates in regioselective rhodium (II)-catalysed CH and Si-H insertion reactions giving α-halocarbonyl products in up to 82% yield. The halodiazoacetates are a novel class of diazo compounds that can undergo intermolecular carbenoid CH insertion reactions, thus broadening the synthetic utility of such reactions.
