The carbene insertion methodology for the catalytic functionalization of unreactive hydrocarbons: no classical C-H activation, but efficient C-H functionalization.
This contribution intends to highlight the use of the metal-catalyzed functionalization of unreactive carbon-hydrogen bonds by the carbene insertion methodology, that employs diazo compounds as the carbene source.
