Abstract

Nothing left to chance: A convenient protocol for selective cross-coupling of diazo compounds for the convergent synthesis of alkenes was developed (see scheme; EDG=aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl; R=O-alkyl, aryl). The selectivity control elements were identified by ReactIR and DFT calculations and provide a framework for the design of viable diazo coupling reactions.
