Abstract
Rhodium-catalysed S–H insertion of α-diazo-γ-butyrolactams has been successfully telescoped using continuous processing with in situ generated triflyl azide in flow and deacylative diazo transfer, incorporating real-time reaction monitoring of the final process outflow by IR spectroscopy. Significantly, the α-diazo-γ-butyrolactam reaction stream was sufficiently pure to progress to the rhodium-catalysed S–H insertion step without detrimental impact on the rhodium catalyst or the reaction efficiency.
