Summary: The synthesis of alpha-aryl-alpha-diazoamides was achieved through a two-step process involving Pd-catalyzed C-H arylation and aminolysis, enabling the esterification of carboxyl groups in aqueous solution to become substrates for an esterase. This broad synthetic route paves the way for further development of diazo compounds in chemical biology.

Summary: Metal-free electrophile addition to vinyl diazo compounds leads to highly selective formal [3 + 2] cyclization, 1,2-difunctionalization of alkenes, and C-H functionalization. Diverse electrophilic reagents can be used to generate highly reactive intermediates, enabling the synthesis of various substituted alpha-diazo esters with high yields and selectivities. Further transformations such as migration, oxidation, ring-expansion, and conjugate addition demonstrate the potential utility of this method.

Summary: Bimolecular excited-state proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET*) was observed for the reaction between the triplet MLCT state of [(dpab)2Ru(4,4 '-dhbpy)]2+ and N-methyl-4,4 '-bipyridinium (MQ+) and N-benzyl-4,4 '-bipyridinium (BMQ+). The PCET* products, oxidized and deprotonated Ru complex, and reduced protonated MQ+ can be distinguished from other reaction products based on the difference in their visible absorption spectra. The observed behavior is different from the reaction between the MLCT state of [(bpy)2Ru(4,4 '-dhbpy)]2+ and MQ+, which involves initial electron transfer (ET*) followed by proton transfer (PT*).

Summary: Recently, stable diazoalkenes have gained attention in organic chemistry as a new substance class. A general synthetic approach using a Regitz-type diazo transfer with azides is established, which allows for the synthesis of pyridine diazoalkenes. This approach is applicable to weakly polarized olefins as well. The properties of these pyridine-derived diazoalkenes are distinct from previously reported classes.

Summary: A mild and environmentally friendly diazotization protocol for aromatic and heteroaromatic anilines into stable diazonium salts using tert-butyl nitrite and p-toluenesulfonic acid has been presented, surpassing previous procedures. The resulting diazonium salts are bench stable and can be used for the synthesis of azo dyes by reacting with activated aromatic compounds.

Summary: A condition-controlled divergent synthesis of imidazoindolone spiro-isoquinolinones (IISIQs) was presented, which involved the cascade reactions of N-alkoxycarboxamide indoles with diazo homophthalimides. Under different conditions, two different types of IISIQ compounds, IISIQ-OR and IISIQ-H, were formed. This method provides a versatile approach for the synthesis of diverse spiroheterocyclic scaffolds.

Summary: We report a highly selective cascade reaction for the synthesis of highly functionalized dihydrochromenones. The reaction involves arylsulfonylation, radical cyclization, and selenylation of alkynyl cyclohexadienones. Aryldiazonium salts and DABSO are used as reactants, with DABSO also serving as a benign SO2 source and redox mediator. A visible light mediated protocol using diaryliodonium salts as reactants was also developed.

Summary: This study developed a catalyst that uses diazirines as carbene precursors, providing a new strategy for selective carbene transfer. By engineering variants of ApePgb protoglobin, selective carbene transfer from diazirines can be achieved at room temperature. The structure of an ApePgb variant, determined by microcrystal electron diffraction, revealed how evolution has enhanced access to the heme active site for this new-to-nature catalysis.
