A Rh(I)-catalyzed formal carbene insertion into C-C bond of benzocyclobutenols has been realized by employing diazoesters as carbene precursors. The product indanol derivatives were obtained in good yields and in diastereoselective manner under mild reaction conditions. All-carbon quaternary center is constructed at the carbenic carbon. This catalytic reaction involves selective cleavage of C-C bond, Rh(I) carbene insertion, and intramolecular aldol reaction.
通过使用重氮酯作为卡宾前体，实现了 Rh(I)催化的苯并环丁烯醇 C-C 键的形式卡宾插入反应。在温和的反应条件下，以良好的收率和非对映选择性得到了吲哚醇衍生物。在碳性碳原子上构建了全碳季碳中心。该催化反应涉及 C-C 键的选择性断裂、Rh(I)卡宾插入和分子内羟醛反应。
