The diastereoselective coupling of <i>O</i>-substituted arylhydroxamates and cyclopropenes mediated by Rh(iii) catalysis was successfully developed. Through ligand development, the diastereoselectivity of this reaction was improved using a heptamethylindenyl (Ind*) ligand, which has been rationalized using quantum chemical calculations. In addition, the nature of the <i>O</i>-substituted ester of benzhydroxamic acid proved important for high diastereoselectivity. This transformation tolerates a ...[more]
