Overview

Review demonstrates diverse cyclization modes of alpha-diazocarbonyl compounds, highlighting efficient atom-economical routes to bioactive heterocyclic molecules.

Key Points

To summarize recent developments over the past five years in transition-metal-catalyzed cyclization reactions involving α-diazocarbonyl compounds.
Systematically reviewed literature from the preceding five-year period on transition-metal-catalyzed transformations of α-diazocarbonyl compounds.
Categorized reactions across different cycloaddition pathways, spanning simple binary cyclizations to multicomponent cascades.
Documented broad reaction modalities including [2 + 1], [2 + 2], [3 + 2], [3 + 3], [4 + 1], [4 + 2], [5 + 1], [5 + 2], [6 + 1], [3 + 1 + 1], and [4 + 1 + 1] cycloadditions.
Showed that catalyst and substrate control enables decomposition into reactive carbene or metal carbene intermediates for atom-economical assembly of carbocycles, heterocycles, and pharmaceutical scaffolds.
