Unlocking catalytic potential: a rhodium( ii )-based coordination polymer for efficient carbene transfer reactions with donor/acceptor diazoalkanes

Chemical Communications, vol. 60, pp. 7327–7330

Abstract

Herein, we report the use of a molecular-defined rhodium(II) coordination polymer (Rh-CP) as a heterogeneous, recyclable catalyst in carbene transfer reactions. We showcase the application of this heterogeneous catalyst in a range of carbene transfer reactions and conclude with the functionalization of natural products and drug molecules.
