Abstract

Transition metal carbenes can directly be generated from readily available and stable 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles in the presence of chiral Rh(II) carboxylates and can be used in a highly efficient enantioselective C-H insertion of azavinyl carbenes into unactivated alkanes to access various β-chiral sulfonamides.
