Enantioselective quaternary carbon construction in the assembly of cyclopentenones employing a Rh<sup>II</sup>-catalyzed, formal [4+1]-cycloaddition is described. A Rh<sub>2</sub>(<i>S</i>-TCPTTL)<sub>4</sub>-catalyzed cyclopropanation of a vinyl ketene with a disubstituted diazo compound initiates a stereoretentive, accelerated ring expansion to provide the cycloadduct in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivity. ...[more]
