Abstract
A highly enantioselective Si-H bond insertion reaction of α-aryldiazoacetates catalyzed by chiral spiro dirhodium tetraphosphate was developed. Various chiral α-silyl esters were prepared with high yield (up to 92%) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee) through this protocol. It is noteworthy that the 2-substituted aryl diazoacetates, which are challenging substrates for other chiral dirhodium catalysts, also exhibited good results in this reaction. This work represents one of the few successful applications of chiral dirhodium phosphates in asymmetric catalysis.
