Highly chemoselective α-diazo carbonyl insertion reactions into N–H and S–H bonds catalysed by [RuCl(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2]
Abstract
Complex [RuCl(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2], in chloroform at 60 °C, catalyses the chemoselective insertion of α-diazo carbonyl compounds into N–H and S–H bonds to afford α-keto-amines and α-keto-thioethers.
