Abstract
Rh-2(PC)(2)(OCOR)(2) complexes, (PC = orthometalated phosphines, OCOR = carboxylates), (1a-1j), with very polarizable ligands, such as aroma tic rings directly joined to the rhodium atoms, have been prepared. Th eir utility for chemoselective intramolecular carbene transfer has bee n demonstrated in the catalyzed decomposition of 1-diazo-3-phenyl-5-he xen-2-one (2), 1-diazo-5-methyl-3-(2-propenyl)-2-hexanone (3) and 1-di azo-5-methyl-3-phenyl-2-hexanone (4).
