A Rh(III)‐catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of 2‐aryl imidazoles/benzimidazoles with α‐diazocarbonyl compounds is developed for the synthesis of π‐conjugated imidazo/benzimidazo[2,1‐a]isoquinolinones systems. Mechanistic studies and control experiment reveal that the reaction proceeds via imidazole‐directed ortho C(sp2)–H activation, followed by carbene C–H

Sulfur‐Directed Construction of Vinyl Cyclopropanes from 1,3‐Dienes
Sulfur takes control. A pending thioether acts as a molecular compass, directing carbene addition to the 1,3‐diene scaffold with exceptional regio‑ and diastereocontrol to forge sulfur‐substituted vinyl cyclopropanes (S‐VCPs) — molecular architectures inaccessible via conventional cyclopropanation strategies.

Geminal difunctionalization of readily available building blocks provides rapid access to molecular complexity. This work introduces a strategy for installing two distinct functional groups on a carbonyl carbon by transforming it into a donor–donor diazo compound, enabling both batch and flow applications with broad solvent compatibility.
