Iron-Catalyzed Carbene Insertion Reactions of alpha-Diazoesters into Si-H Bonds

摘要

An efficient iron-catalyzed carbene insertion reaction of alpha-diazo carbonyl compounds into the Si-H bond was developed. A wide range of alpha-silylesters was obtained in high yields (up to 99%) from alpha-diazoesters using a simple iron(II) salt as catalyst.
