Iron-Catalyzed Carbene Insertion Reactions of α-Diazoesters into Si-H Bonds.

Published in: Organic letters (2018)

An efficient iron-catalyzed carbene insertion reaction of α-diazo carbonyl compounds into the Si-H bond was developed. A wide range of α-silylesters was obtained in high yields (up to 99%) from α-diazoesters using a simple iron(II) salt as catalyst.
