Abstract

A catalytic domino oxidative carbene coupling (OCC) of alpha-diazo carbonyls has been established by treatment with N,N-dimethylanilines and carboxylic acids (or N-methylaniline) via direct C(sp(3))-H functionalization under convenient conditions. The reaction pathway is proposed to proceed through the sequence of carbene formation, enolization, and nucleophilic addition. The reaction enables de-diazotized carbo-oxygenation and carbo-amination of alpha-diazo carbonyls and provides practical access to alpha-(acyloxy)-beta-amino ketones and alpha,beta-diamino ketones.
