Abstract
The outcome of rhodium(ll)pivalate catalyzed decomposition of diaozoac etates in the presence of cyclohexane is highly dependent on carbenoid structure. Carbenoids derived from phenyldiazoacetates or diazoketoes ters undergo high yielding intemolecular C-H insertions while other ca rbenoid systems undergo rearrangements, dimerization or trimerization.
