The first example of the boron Lewis acid catalyzed Csp2鈥揌 functionalization of cyclic enones was achieved using diazoacetates. The insertion of the carbon atom of diazoacetates utilizes BF3鈥t2O or a newly designed oxazaborolidinium ion as a catalyst to afford 尾-functionalized cyclic enones from simple cyclic enones in a single step and high yields. The reaction mechanism was investigated with deuterium labeled 2-cyclohexen-1-one.
