A review is presented of synthetic methods for the preparation of biaryls by the rhodium-catalyzed C-H bond arylation of arenes with aryl halides (C-H/ C-X couplings), arylmetal reagents (C-H/C-M couplings) and arenes (C-H/C-H couplings), with an emphasis on postulated mechanisms

In this tutorial review, the rhodium(II)-catalyzed domino reactions of alpha-diazo carbonyl compounds are summarized. The article will emphasize some of the more recent synthetic applications of the rhodium carbenoid cyclization/cycloaddition domino cascade for alkaloid synthesis. The many structurally diverse and
Rhodium-catalyzed C-C bond formation via heteroatom-directed C-H bond activation.

This tutorial review describes the reactions of the electron-rich heterocycles pyrrole, furan, indole and benzofuran with copper and rhodium carbenoids. Two main reaction pathways are possible, involving either a concerted non-synchronous cyclopropanation or zwitterionic intermediates. A diverse range of products

Transition metal-catalyzed acyloxy migration of propargylic esters offers versatile entries to allene and vinyl carbene intermediates for various fascinating subsequent transformations. Most π-acidic metals (e.g. gold and platinum) are capable of facilitating these acyloxy migration events. However, very few of
