Abstract

Rhodium catalyzed reactions of diazo compounds form a powerful set of tools for synthetic organic chemists. Reactivity modes include cyclopropanation, C-H insertion, X-H insertion, and ylide formation. A myriad of factors influences the mode of reaction, selectivity, and yield for these reaction processes. This review examines the subtle electronic, steric and conformational effects that in turn have profound impacts on reaction paths and selectivity.
