Also in @science.org this week, Max Hansmann’s group return with yet another convenient C-atom transfer agent. This time, a diazo/sulfur ylide hybrid favors spiro-type sp3 products from olefins

Spiro-C(sp3)-atom transfer: Creating rigid three-dimensional structures with Ph2SCN2
The introduction of a single C-atom into organic substrates typically results in the formation of flat molecules containing unsaturated C(sp)-centers. Adding a single C(sp3)-atom surrounded by four σ-...
