1. General Information

Unless otherwise stated all the reactions were done under inert conditions (exclusion of air and moisture);

under positive pressure of nitrogen (catalyst preparation and batch catalytic experiments) or argon

(continuous flow experiments). Reactions were monitored by GC analyses performed on Agilent Technologies

model 6890N gas chromatography instrument with a FID detector using 30 m x 0.25 mm HP-5 capillary

column [He as carrier gas: 1.2 mL/min; initial temperature: 50 ºC (1.5 min); then heating at a rate of 10 ºC/min

till 250 ºC (25 min)]. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Advance 300 or 400 Ultrashield NMR

spectrometers for 1H NMR at 300 or 400 MHz and 13C at 75 or 101 MHz. All samples were recorded in CDCl3.

Chemical shifts (δ) for protons are quoted in parts per million (ppm) downfield from tetramethylsilane and were

referenced to residual proton resonances of the NMR solvent. Flash chromatography was carried out using 60

mesh silica gel and dry-packed columns. Commercial materials were used as received with following

exceptions: all the solvents were used from a MBRAUN Solvent Purification System, and absolute ethanol

was dried over Mg and further kept over activated 4 Å molecular sieves. Tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper(I)

hexafluorophosphate, [(CH3CN)4Cu]PF6, was purchased from Aldrich and was stored and used inside a glove

box. Ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) was purchased from Aldrich and used as received. Tris(triazolyl)methane

ligand1 and polymer-supported ligand2 were synthesized according to the previously published methods

without any modifications. Elemental analyses and analysis of copper content (ICP-OES) were performed by

Medac Ltd, Surrey (UK). The products of carbene transfer reactions were identified by comparison of their

NMR spectra with those previously reported.3

2. Synthesis of the polymer-supported copper complex PS-TTMCu(NCMe)PF6.

A mixture of PS-supported tris(triazolyl)methoxy ligand (300 mg, 1 equiv., f = 0.495 mmol·g-1) and

[(CH3CN)4Cu]PF6 (65 mg, 0.176 mmol, 1.20 equiv.) was stirred in 20 mL of dry dichloromethane for 16 h

under nitrogen. After filtration, the solid was washed with dry dichloromethane (2 x 20 mL) and petroleum

ether (2 x 20 mL) and dried under vacuum. No changes in color were observed in the isolated solid from that

of the starting material. In the event that some greenish color was observed, this would be indicative of partial

oxidation to Cu(II). This problem can be avoided by working under inert atmosphere.

In the case of the catalyst for continuous flow, the procedure for the formation of the Cu(I) complex was

carried out inside a glovebox, with the resin sample loaded in the flow column. The column was then taken

outside from the glovebox, and was shaken at room temperature under positive pressure of argon for 16 h.

The column was then connected to the flow instrument and was washed with dry dichloromethane (20 mL)

with a flow rate of 500 µL/min prior to use.

Elemental analysis of the resin PS-TTMCu(NCMe)PF6:

N, 5.40%; C, 73.35%; H, 6.10%; Cu, 2.74%

The functionalization of the resin PS-TTMCu(NCMe)PF6 (f = 0.39 mmol·g-1) was calculated from the results of

elemental analysis of nitrogen.4 These results are consistent with those resulting from the analysis of Cu by

ICP-OES.

3. Catalytic experiments under batch conditions

Carbene insertion into the O-H bond of ethanol

a) Small scale experiments: Dry and deoxygenated ethanol (5 mL) was added to a Schlenk flask containing

PS-TTMCu(NCMe)PF6 (100 mg, 0.039 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere. EDA (0.75 mmol, 79 µL) was

added in one portion and the mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. The mixture was then filtered,

the solid washed with CH2Cl2 (2 x 5mL), dried under vacuum and loaded again with solvent and reactants.

The filtrate from the reaction mixture was analyzed by GC, identifying exclusively the product derived from

ethanol functionalization3 and some diethyl fumarate and maleate from the formal dimerization of the

CHCO2Et units from EDA. The filtrate was taken to dryness, at 0º C to avoid evaporation of the product, and

the residue was dissolved in CDCl3. and analyzed by NMR.

b) Preparative, large scale experiment: Dry and deoxygenated ethanol (30 mL) was added to a Schlenk flask

containing freshly prepared PS-TTMCu(NCMe)PF6 (600 mg, 0.234 mmol, recovered from the preparative

experiment with aniline described below) under nitrogen atmosphere. EDA (4.5 mmol, 0.47 mL) was added in

one portion and the mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. The catalyst was separated by filtration,

washed with CH2Cl2 (2 x 30 mL), dried and stored for further use. The filtrate from the reaction mixture was

analyzed by GC, showing exclusively the peak corresponding to 3 (>99% conversion and >99% selectivity).

Solvents were removed under reduced pressure (P = 150 mbar, 30 ºC) to a weight of 1.15 g. At this point,

CH2Cl2 (7 mL) was added, and the solvents (dichloromethane and residual ethanol) were removed under

reduced pressure (P = 400 mbar, 30 ºC) to give pure 3 (0.58 g, 4.41 mmol, 98% isolated yield).

4 The degree of functionalization of a resin can be calculated from the results of elemental analysis with the formulas: fN = (0.714/nN)%N, where nN is the number of nitrogen atoms in the functional unit and %N is the percent of nitrogen provided by the elemental analysis. See: A. Bastero, D. Font and M. A. Pericàs J. Org. Chem. 2007, 72, 2460-2468. The corresponding formula from the results of Cu analysis is: fCu = (0.157/nCu)%Cu.

Carbene insertion into N-H bonds of aniline

a) Small scale experiments: Dry deoxygenated dichloromethane (3 mL) was added to a Schlenk flask

containing PS-TTMCu(NCMe)PF6 (100 mg, 0.039 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere, followed by 3.75 mmol

(0.34 mL) of freshly distilled aniline. A solution of 0.75 mmol (79 µL) of EDA in 10 mL of CH2Cl2 was slowly

added over 6 h with the aid of a syringe pump. Workup was similar to that described above, removal of

volatiles being performed at room temperature.

b) Preparative, large scale experiment: Dry deoxygenated dichloromethane (15 mL) was added to a Schlenk

flask containing freshly prepared PS-TTMCu(NCMe)PF6 (600 mg, 0.234 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere,

followed by 22.5 mmol (2.0 mL) of freshly distilled aniline. A solution of 4.5 mmol (0.47 mL) of EDA in 30 mL

of CH2Cl2 was slowly added over 6 h with the aid of a syringe pump. The catalyst was separated by filtration,

washed with CH2Cl2 (2 x 30 mL), dried and used for the preparative experiment with ethanol (see above). The

filtrate from the reaction mixture was analyzed by GC, showing exclusively the peak corresponding to 4 (>99%

conversion and >99% selectivity). Dichloromethane was removed under reduced pressure (P = 400 mbar, 30

ºC), and excess aniline was evaporatively distilled using a rotary microdistillation equipment at 60-70 ºC/0.3

mbar. The residue in the flask was pure 4 (0.801 g, 4.47 mmol, 99% isolated yield).

Carbene insertion into C-H bonds of cyclohexane and tetrahydrofuran

Following the above procedure, cyclohexane (3 mL) was reacted with EDA (0.75 mmol, 79 µL) in the

presence of the solid catalyst (100 mg, 0.039 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere. EDA was slowly added for

18 h (dissolved in cyclohexane). Identical protocol and amounts of reactants were employed in the case of

tetrahydrofuran. Workup was similar to that described above, removal of volatiles being performed at room

temperature.

Consecutive experiments with different substrates

The above conditions were employed in a consecutive manner with the same initial loading of catalyst for an

overall number of 12 experiments, two with each substrate (see Table 2 in the manuscript).

4. Description of the experimental setup for the continuous flow process

For the continuous flow experiments, the instrumental set-up shown in Figure S1 was used. The packed bed

reactor consisted of a vertical mounted and fritted low-pressure Omnifit glass chromatography column (10 mm

bore size and up to maximal 70 mm of adjustable bed height) loaded with 300 mg of PS-TTMCu(NCMe)PF6 (ƒ

= 0.39 mmol·g-1). The reactor inlet was connected to a three-way connector that allows switching between two

channels, connected to an Asia120® flow chemistry system developed by Syrris. One channel was connected

to a solution of ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) and distilled ethanol in deoxygenated dichloromethane under argon

(no reaction occurs in the absence of catalyst) through Pump 1, and the other channel was connected to a

flask containing deoxygenated dichloromethane to rinse the system through Pump 2. The reactor outlet was

connected to a receiving flask, where the product was collected. Conversions of the product at any moment

were determined by gas chromatography of periodically collected samples. At the end of the experiment the

solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give the final product. During operation, all the system was

kept under argon using either balloons (picture) or connections to an argon manifold.

5. Continuous flow experiment with ethyl diazoacetate and ethanol

The column was assembled to the Asia120® flow chemistry system developed by Syrris as shown in Figure

S1. Deoxygenated dichloromethane was flushed by an Asian pump through the column at 500 µL·min-1 flow

rate to swell the resin. After 30 min, the solvent channel was switched to the reagents and a solution of ethyl

diazoacetate (11.2 mL, 106 mmol) and distilled ethanol (31 mL, 531 mmol) in deoxygenated dichloromethane

(1400 mL) was pumped with a flow rate of 500 µL·min-1 through the system and the system was run for 48 h.

Periodically collected samples were analysed by gas chromatography to determine conversion of the final

product. Samples were collected and solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give pure product 3

(12.6 g, 95.83 mmol, 89 % yield) as a brownish liquid.

6. Continuous flow production of a family of compounds resulting from carbene transfer reactions.

a) The column was filled with the catalyst as described above and assembled to an Asia120® flow chemistry

system developed by Syrris (Figure S1). Deoxygenated dichloromethane was first flushed through the column

at 500 µL·min-1 flow rate to ensure that no unligated Cu(I) is available. After 30 min, the solvent was changed

to dry tetrahydrofuran, which was pumped through the column at 500 µL·min-1 flow rate. After 1 h, the solvent

channel was switched to the reagents and a solution of EDA (0.56 mL, 5.3 mmol) in dry THF (70 mL) under

argon was pumped with a flow rate of 500 µL·min-1. After a 10 min stabilization period, collection of the efluent

was started and the process was kept running for 2 h. The collected samples were evaporated and analyzed

by GC to determine conversion of the final product. The system was flushed with deoxygenated

dichloromethane for 10 min at 500 µL·min-1 flow rate to clean the resin and the same procedure was repeated

with the next substrate.

The solvent from the collected efluent was removed under reduced pressure (P = 200 mbar, 30 ºC) to give a

yellow liquid which was submitted to flash column chromatography on silicagel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate

95:5). The solvent was distilled off through a Vigreux column under reduced pressure (P = 200 mbar, 40 ºC)

to give pure product 2 (0.40 g, 2.53 mmol, 56% yield).

The procedure described under a) was followed. Most of the solvent from the collected efluent was removed

under reduced pressure (P = 400 mbar, 30 ºC) and residual solvent was distilled off through a Vigreux column

under reduced pressure (P = 200 mbar, 40 ºC). The residue, a yellow liquid, was submitted to flash column

chromatography on silicagel (cyclohexane 100%). The solvent of the collected fractions was distilled off

through a Vigreux column under reduced pressure (P = 200 mbar, 40 ºC) to give pure product 1 (0.16 g, 0.94

The procedure described under a) was followed. The solvent from the collected efluent was removed under

reduced pressure (P = 400 mbar, 30 ºC) to give a brown liquid which was submitted to bulb-to-bulb distillation

at 60-70 ºC/0.3 mbar to remove traces of aniline. The material remaining in the flask was product 4 in pure
