Lithium pentamethyldisilanyldiazomethane, prepared from pentamethyldisilanyldiazomethane and lithium diisopropylamide, reacts with acid chlorides to give pentamethyldisilanyldiazoketones in good yields.

The photoinduced, multicomponent reaction of α-diazoketones, silanols, and isocyanides affords α-silyloxy acrylamides, formally derived from α-keto amides. The presence of a secondary amido group makes classic preparative methods for silyl enol ethers unfeasible in this case, while the mild conditions required by this photochemical approach allow their synthesis in good yields; moreover, the general structure can be easily modified by varying each component of the multicomponent reaction. Fine-tuning of the reaction conditions (i.e., solvents, radiation, additives) can be exploited to obtain complete Z selectivity. The reactivity of this overlooked class of silyl enol ethers has been investigated, and features that could pave the way to new applications have been found.

Implementing catalytic organometallic transformations in living settings can offer unprecedented opportunities in chemical biology and medicine. Unfortunately, the number of biocompatible reactions so far discovered is very limited, and essentially restricted to uncaging processes. Here, we demonstrate the viability of performing metal carbene transfer reactions in live mammalian cells. In particular, we show that copper (II) catalysts can promote the intracellular annulation of alpha-keto diazocarbenes with ortho-amino arylamines, in a process that is initiated by an N-H carbene insertion. The potential of this transformation is underscored by the in cellulo synthesis of a product that alters mitochondrial functions, and by demonstrating cell selective biological responses using targeted copper catalysts. Considering the wide reactivity spectrum of metal carbenes, this work opens the door to significantly expanding the repertoire of life-compatible abiotic reactions.
Solvent-Directed Transition Metal-Free C-C Bond Cleavage by Azido-1,3,5-triazines and Their Stability-Reactivity Paradox

We report a solvent-directed and regioselective carbon-carbon bond cleavage of aryl ketones by azido-1,3,5-triazines (ATs), which is typically completed within 10 min in DMSO at room temperature, without using transition metal catalysts. The cleavage is driven by the steric hindrance in the adducts of aryl ketones and ATs, which is substantiated by DFT calculation. Our recent results showed that ATs present high reactivity in solution and high stability in solid state. This "stability-reactivity paradox"has been explained in light of the molecular and crystal structures of ATs.
