Highly Regioselective Functionalization of Aliphatic Carbon−Hydrogen Bonds with a Perbromohomoscorpionate Copper(I) Catalyst

Abstract
The complex TpBr3Cu(NCMe) (1) is an excellent catalyst for the regioselective carbene transfer reaction to tertiary C−H bonds of hydrocarbons, at room temperature, using the readily available ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) as the carbene source.
