Abstract
A rhodium-catalyzed reaction of thioesters with diazo reagents was recognized as a powerful and unprecedented tool for single-atom molecular editing by the insertion of a single carbon atom into the C(O)─S thioester bond, thereby leading to various α-thioketones possessing a quaternary carbon atom. A selective and precise defunctionalization of the polyfunctionalized products further demonstrated the synthetic utility of the reaction for the synthesis of more common structural classes of compounds.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
