Abstract

An efficient copper-catalyzed carbenoid insertion reaction of α-diazo carbonyl compounds into Si-H and S-H bonds provides a broad range of α-silylesters and α-thioesters in high yields using 5 mol% of a simple copper(I) salt as catalyst. In addition, α-diazoketones can be converted to α-silylketones in moderate yields.
