This tutorial review presents a description of the controlling elements of intermolecular C-H functionalization by means of C-H insertion by donor/acceptor rhodium carbenes. These rhodium carbenes, readily derived from the combination of diazo compounds with dirhodium(ii) catalysts, are sufficiently reactive

The catalytic activation of a C-H bond is a fundamentally important organic transformation. There are now numerous reports of palladium-mediated C-H activation by the through-space interaction of a palladium center with a neighboring C-H bond. This type of C-H activation

Rhodium is used for a number of large processes that rely on homogeneous rhodium-catalyzed reactions, for instance rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes, carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid and hydrodesulfurization of thiophene derivatives (in crude oil). Many laboratory applications in organometallic

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

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
