Rh-Catalyzed Expansion of Azetidines to Pyrrolidines via Modulated Carbene Transfer

Abstract Reliable methods for accessing complex pyrrolidines without the need for extensive pre-functionalization or harsh reaction conditions are attractive. We report a Rh-catalyzed ring-expansion strategy, in which azetidines react with donor–acceptor carbene precursors to for...
