New Advances in Sc-Catalyzed Diazoalkane Homologation Reactions: The Total Synthesis of pre-achyrofuran and the Desymmetrization of Bicyclic β-Dicarbonyls

Thesis advisor: Jason Kingsbury === Recent findings have led to the discovery that the Sc-catalyzed addition of substituted diazoalkanes to aldehydes elegantly affords a net carbon insertion into the C-H bond, delivering the requisite ketone in one simple step with no need for a readjustment in oxid...
