Preparation and Synthetic Applications of Five-to-Seven-Membered Cyclic α-Diazo Monocarbonyl Compounds

Molecules. 2022 Mar 21;27(6):2030. doi: 10.3390/molecules27062030.

Abstract

The reactivity of cyclic α-diazo monocarbonyl compounds differs from that of their acyclic counterparts. In this review, we summarize the current literature available on the synthesis and synthetic applications of three major classes of cyclic α-diazo monocarbonyl compounds: α-diazo ketones, α-diazo lactones and α-diazo lactams.

Keywords: preparation; synthetic applications; α-diazo ketones; α-diazo lactams; α-diazo lactones.
