This review covers some unique diazo compounds, the coupling partners to access various versatile functionalized nitrogen heterocycles, such as indoles, indolines, isoquinolines, isoquinolones, and so on. Different transition metals (such as Rh, Pd, Ru, Ir, Cu, and Co) are involved in these transfor...
