“…The transition-metal-catalyzed intramolecularly aliphatic and aromatic C-H insertions of diazo amides provide important transformations to efficiently synthesize nitrogen-containing heterocycles with the new C-C bond formation [1,2,3,4]. The reactivity of diazoamides has been well studied (Scheme 1a), affording β-lactams ( I ) [5,6,7,8,9], γ-lactams ( II ) [5,6,7,8,9], indolin-2-ones ( III ) [10,11,12,13,14,15], 1,4-dihydroisoquinolin-3(2 H )-ones ( IV ), Buchner products ( V ), and cyclopropanation products ( VI ) [16,17,18,19,20,21] (Scheme 1a) and a series of exquisite reactions has been established to construct complex and useful structures, such as biological and natural products [22,23].…”
