Finding Opportunities from Surprises and Failures. Development of Rhodium-Stabilized Donor/Acceptor Carbenes and Their Application to Catalyst-Controlled C–H Functionalization

Catalyst-controlled C–H functionalization by means of the C–H insertion chemistry of rhodium carbenes has become a powerful synthetic method. The key requirements for the development of this chemistry are donor/acceptor carbenes and the chiral dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalysts. This perspective w...

Summary:Catalyst-controlled C–H functionalization by means of the C–H insertion chemistry of rhodium carbenes has become a powerful synthetic method. The key requirements for the development of this chemistry are donor/acceptor carbenes and the chiral dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalysts. This perspective will describe the stages involved in developing this chemistry and illustrate the scope of the donor/acceptor carbene C–H functionalization.
