Dirhodium tetrakis (S-(N-dodecylbenzenesulfonyl)prolinate (Rh-2(S-DOSP)(4))
catalyzed decomposition of methyl aryldiazoacetates in the presence of a s
ubstituted pyrrolidines results in highly diastereoselective and enantiosel
ective C-H insertions, These reactions can proceed with impressive levels o
f double stereodifferentiation and kinetic resolution, which allows for thr
ee stereocenters to be controlled during the C-H insertion step.
