AB A polystyrene-linked tris(triazolyl)methanecopper(I) cationic catalyst operates under heterogeneousconditions for the reaction of ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) with an array of substrates. Carbon–hydrogen aswell as X–H (X ¼ O, N) functionalization derived from the formal transfer of the carbene moiety(:CHCO2Et) from the copper center and subsequent insertion have been achieved, the reactionspermitting repeated catalyst recycling and reuse. The addition of the same carbene unit to benzeneleading to a cycloheptatriene derivative (B¨uchner reaction) or to phenylacetylene (cyclopropenation)took place at similar rates to the insertion processes and with the same catalyst recyclability. The use ofthis heterogenized cationic Cu catalyst in continuous flow has also been implemented. Keycharacteristics of the flow process are its high and constant turnover frequency (TOF) (residence timesof 1 min still lead to full conversion in the reaction with ethanol after 48 h operation) and its suitabilityfor the sequential performance of different types of carbene transfer reactions with a simple andaffordable experimental setup.
