Abstract
Diazocarbonyl compounds have broad applications in organic chemistry research. They can be applied to synthesize epoxides and aziridines, which are valuable small heterocycles. This review discusses selected examples that produce epoxides and aziridines from diazocarbonyl compounds under catalytic conditions and in a selective fashion.
Keywords: Diazocarbonyl compounds, epoxide, aziridine, metal carbene, ylide, Lewis acid catalysis.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
