Herein we describe the development of a highly selective kinetic resolution of cyclobutanones via a Rh-catalyzed "cut-and-sew" reaction with selectivity factor up to 785. This reaction takes place at room temperature with excellent efficiency. Various <i>trans</i>-5,6-fused bicycles and C2-substituted cyclobutanones were obtained with excellent ee's that can be further used as chiral building blocks. DFT calculations reveal the crucial roles of the DTBM-segphos ligand in stabilizing the rate- an ...[more]
