Rh(III)-catalyzed directed C–H carbenoid coupling reveals aromatic bisphosphonates inhibiting metallo- and Serine-β-lactamases

We report the highly efficient and scalable Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H coupling of arenes with diazo-methylene-diphosphonates to give structurally diverse aromatic bisphosphonates in good to excellent yields. These bisphosphonates are one of the very few classes of inhibitors acting against the mechanist...
