Abstract

A RhI-catalyzed cross-coupling of diazoester with arylstannane was developed. This reaction represents the first Stille-type coupling that uses a diazo compound as the coupling partner. The reaction is operationally simple and can be carried out under mild conditions, thus providing an alternative approach for the synthesis of α-aryl esters. RhI–carbene migratory insertion process is suggested to be involved as the key step in this Stille-type coupling.
