Abstract

Rhodium (II) triphenylacetate, which features a bulky bridging ligand, has been demonstrated to exhibit an exceptionally high order of selectivity for aromatic C–H insertion over aliphatic C–H insertion or cyclopropanation in catalytic decompositions of α- diazocarbonyl compounds, thus providing an expedient and general entry to variously substituted indan-2-ones.
