Abstract
A novel donor/acceptor carbene intermediate has been developed using diaryldiazoketones as carbene precursors. In the presence of the chiral dirhodium catalyst, Rh2(S-TPPTTL)4, diaryldiazoketones undergo highly regio-, stereo-, and diastereoselective C-H functionalization of activated and unactivated secondary and tertiary C-H bonds. Computational studies revealed that the arylketo group behaves differently than the carboxylate acceptor group because the orientation of the arylketo group predetermines which face of the carbene will be attacked.

Abstract
Epoxides, as a prominent small ring O-heterocyclic and the privileged pharmacophores for medicinal chemistry, have recently represented an ideal substrate for the development of single-atom replacements. The previous O-to-C replacement strategy for epoxides to date typically requires high temperatures to achieve low yields and lacks substrate range and functional group tolerance, so achieving this oxygen-carbon exchange remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report a silver-catalyzed direct conversion of epoxides into trifluoromethylcyclopropanes in a single step using trifluoromethyl N-triftosylhydrazones as carbene precursors, thereby achieving oxygen-carbon exchange via a tandem deoxygenation/[2 + 1] cycloaddition. The reaction shows broad tolerance of functional groups, allowing routine cheletropic olefin synthesis in a strategy for the net oxygen-carbon exchange reaction. The utility of this method is further showcased with the late-stage diversification of epoxides derived from bioactive natural products and drugs. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations elucidate the reaction mechanism and the origin of the chemo- and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
A series of chiral bowl-shaped diruthenium(II,III) tetracarboxylate catalysts were prepared and evaluated in asymmetric cyclopropanations with donor/acceptor carbenes derived from aryldiazoacetates. The diruthenium catalysts self-assembled to generate C4-symmetric bowl-shaped structures in an analogous manner to their dirhodium counterparts. The optimum catalyst was found to be Ru2(S-TPPTTL)4·BArF [S-TPPTTL = (S)-2-(1,3-dioxo-4,5,6,7-tetraphenylisoindolin-2-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutanoate, BArF = tetrakis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)borate], which resulted in the cyclopropanation of a range of substrates in up to 94% ee. Synthesis and evaluation of first-row transition-metal congeners [Cu(II/II) and Co(II/II)] invariably resulted in catalysts that afforded little to no asymmetric induction. Computational studies indicate that the carbene complexes of these dicopper and dicobalt complexes, unlike the dirhodium and diruthenium systems, are prone to the loss of carboxylate ligands, which would destroy the bowl-shaped structure critical for asymmetric induction.

Abstract
Rhodium(II) catalyst-controlled site- and stereoselective carbene insertion into the distal allylic C(sp3)-H bond of allyl boronates is reported. The optimum chiral catalyst for this reaction is Rh2(S-TPPTTL)4. The fidelity and asymmetric induction of this catalytic transformation allows for a highly diastereoselective and enantioselective C-C bond formation without interference from the allyl boronate functionality. The resulting functionalized allyl boronates are susceptible to stereoselective allylations, generating products with control of stereochemistry at four contiguous stereogenic centers.

Abstract
Heterobimetallic [BiRh] tetracarboxylate catalysts endowed with 1,3-disilylated phenylglycine paddlewheels benefit from interligand London dispersion. They were originally designed for asymmetric cyclopropanation but are now shown to perform very well in asymmetric C-H functionalization reactions too. Because of the confined ligand sphere about the derived donor/acceptor carbenes, insertions into unhindered methyl groups are kinetically favored, although methylene units also react with excellent levels of asymmetric induction; even gaseous ethane is a suitable substrate. Moreover, many functional groups in both partners are tolerated. The resulting products are synthetically equivalent to the outcome of traditional asymmetric ester alkylation, allylation, benzylation, propargylation and aldol reactions and therefore constitute a valuable nexus to more conventional chemical logic.

Abstract
The C-H functionalization of silyl ethers via carbene-induced C-H insertion represents an efficient synthetic disconnection strategy. In this work, site- and stereoselective C(sp3)-H functionalization at α, γ, δ, and even more distal positions to the siloxy group has been achieved using donor/acceptor carbene intermediates. By exploiting the predilections of Rh2(R-TCPTAD)4 and Rh2(S-2-Cl-5-BrTPCP)4 catalysts to target either more electronically activated or more spatially accessible C-H sites, respectively, divergent desired products can be formed with good diastereocontrol and enantiocontrol. Notably, the reaction can also be extended to enable desymmetrization of meso silyl ethers. Leveraging the broad substrate scope examined in this study, we have trained a machine learning classification model using logistic regression to predict the major C-H functionalization site based on intrinsic substrate reactivity and catalyst propensity for overriding it. This model enables prediction of the major product when applying these C-H functionalization methods to a new substrate of interest. Applying this model broadly, we have demonstrated its utility for guiding late-stage functionalization in complex settings and developed an intuitive visualization tool to assist synthetic chemists in such endeavors.

Abstract
C-H functionalization has been emerging as a powerful method to establish carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Many efforts have been devoted to transition-metal-catalyzed direct transformations of C-H bonds. Metal carbenes generated in situ from transition-metal compounds and diazo or its equivalents are usually applied as the transient reactive intermediates to furnish a catalytic cycle for new C-C and C-X bond formation. Using this strategy compounds from unactivated simple alkanes to complex molecules can be further functionalized or transformed to multi-functionalized compounds. In this area, transition-metal-catalyzed carbene insertion to C-H bonds has been paid continuous attention. Diverse catalyst design strategies, synthetic methods, and potential applications have been developed. This critical review will summarize the advance in transition-metal-catalyzed carbene insertion to C-H bonds dated up to July 2021, by the categories of C-H bonds from aliphatic C(sp3)-H, aryl (aromatic) C(sp2)-H, heteroaryl (heteroaromatic) C(sp2)-H bonds, alkenyl C(sp2)-H, and alkynyl C(sp)-H, as well as asymmetric carbene insertion to C-H bonds, and more coverage will be given to the recent work. Due to the rapid development of the C-H functionalization area, future directions in this topic are also discussed. This review will give the authors an overview of carbene insertion chemistry in C-H functionalization with focus on the catalytic systems and synthetic applications in C-C bond formation.

Abstract
By using diazonaphthoquinones and anilines as key reagents and through a point-to-axis chiral transfer strategy, the atroposelective synthesis via asymmetric C(sp2 )-H bond insertion reaction of arenes has been realized under rhodium catalysis, providing the resulting biaryl atropisomers in moderate to excellent yields with good enantiomeric ratios (up to 99:1). Further elaboration indicates this type of axially biaryl scaffold may have promising potentials in developing novel chiral ligands.

Abstract
Over the past decade, α-imino carbenoids generated via transition metal (such as rhodium, nickel, copper, palladium, silver) catalyzed denitrogenative ring-opening of N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles have found an extensive account of applications in synthetic organic chemistry. Particularly, they have been widely utilized as a donor/acceptor carbene complex in a range of transformations leading to diverse nitrogen containing compounds and heterocycles. Along the same direction, 3-diazoindolin-2-imines were successfully applied as an alternative source of α-imino carbenoid precursors for the development of a number of methodologies to access diverse indole derivatives. This review summarizes the insertion reactions of α-imino metal carbenes derived from N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles and 3-diazoindolin-2-imines.

Abstract
A one-step synthesis of cytotoxic 2-aroylpyrimidines by the denitrogenative reaction of 1-tosyl-1,2,3-triazoles with isoxazoles under rhodium catalysis has been developed. According to the density functional theory calculations and control experiments, the disclosed reaction proceeds via the rearrangement of an oxadiazatetraene intermediate involving a cascade of intramolecular aza-Diels-Alder and retro-aza-Diels-Alder reactions. The presence of a substituent at C4 of the isoxazole is a prerequisite for the formation of the pyrimidines.

The reactions are highly diastereoselective and high asymmetric induction could be achieved using either (R)-pantolactone as a chiral auxiliary or chiral dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalysts. For meta- or para-substituted aryl- or heteroaryldiazoacetates the optimum catalyst was Rh2(R-p-Ph-TPCP)4. In the case of ortho-substituted aryl- or heteroaryldiazoacetates, the optimum catalyst was Rh2(R-TPPTTL)4. For a highly enantioselective reaction with the ortho-substituted substrates, 2-chloropyridine was required as an additive in the presence of either 4 Å molecular sieves or 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). Under the optimized conditions, the cyclopropanation could be conducted in the presence of a variety of heterocycles, such as pyridines, pyrazines, quinolines, indoles, oxadiazoles, thiophenes and pyrazoles.

Abstract
A new catalytic protocol to access synthetically challenging cis-2,3-dihydroazepines is reported. The reaction starts with readily available dienals, alkynes, and sulfonyl azides as the substrates and employs copper and rhodium as relay catalysts. Key steps include a copper-catalyzed reaction between an alkyne and a sulfonyl azide to form a triazole intermediate. The subsequent activation of this triazole intermediate by a rhodium catalyst, followed by a reaction with the dienal substrate, eventually leads to the dihydroazepine product. The regio- and stereochemistries of the products are believed to be controlled through a stereospecific conrotatory 8π-electrocyclization process against a possible competing 6π-electrocyclization process.

Abstract
Dirhodium triarylcyclopropanecarboxylate catalysts (Rh2TPCP4) are sterically demanding and capable of controlling the site selectivity of C-H functionalization by means of C-H insertion with donor/acceptor carbenes. This study compares the structures and reactivity profiles of dirhodium triarylcyclopropanecarboxylates with dirhodium diarylcyclopropanecarboxylates. The absence of the third aryl group makes the catalysts less sterically demanding and lacks a well-defined preferred conformation. The catalysts have a greater tendency for inducing C-H functionalization at tertiary C-H bonds versus their triaryl counterparts but are generally not capable of achieving high levels of asymmetric induction. These studies confirm the critical requirement of having at least three substituents on the cyclopropanecarboxylate ligands to have well-defined sterically demanding catalysts capable of high levels of asymmetric induction.
