Abstract

The first catalytic asymmetric intramolecular 1,6-C-H insertion reaction of α-diazo esters is described. With dirhodium(II) tetrakis[N-phthaloyl-(S)-tert-leucinate], Rh2(S-PTTL)4, the C-H insertion proceeded in a chemoselective manner to give 2-alkenyltetrahydropyran-3-carboxylates with up to 95% ee and perfect cis diastereoselectivity.
