This chiral Rh(II) dimer was developed in the Davies lab to perform asymmetric carbene and nitrene reactions (C-H insertion, cyclopropanation, aziridination, C-H amination) with high regio- and stereocontrol.
Optically active cis-cyclopropane carboxylates are prepared via the Rh2(S-PTAD)4-catalyzed cyclopropanation of α-silyl styrenes with aryl diazoacetates followed by desilylation of the resulting silyl cyclopropane carboxylates. The conjugation of the aryl ring with C═C bond and π stacking are proposed for

The rhodium-catalyzed reaction of racemic allyl alcohols with methyl phenyldiazoacetate or methyl styryldiazoacetate results in a two-step process, an initial oxonium ylide formation followed by a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. This process competes favorably with the more conventional O-H insertion chemistry as
The laboratory synthesis of complex organic molecules relies heavily on the introduction and manipulation of functional groups, such as carbon-oxygen or carbon-halogen bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds are far less reactive and harder to functionalize selectively. The idea of C-H functionalization, in

Acyclic methylene acetals bearing two diazoester subunits have been converted to [5,5]-spiroacetals via bidirectional C-H insertion under Rh(ii) catalysis. Using a chiral Rh(ii) catalyst, the major diastereomer can be produced in high enantiomeric excess (89%).
The reaction of a variety of alpha-aryl-alpha-diazo ketones with activated olefins, catalyzed by the adamantyl glycine-derived dirhodium complex Rh(2)(S-PTAD)(4), generates cyclopropyl ketones with high diastereoselectivity (up to >95:5 dr) and enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee).
