The heteroleptic dirhodium paddlewheel catalyst 7 with a chiral carboxylate/acetamidate ligand sphere is uniquely effective in asymmetric [2+1] cycloadditions with α-diazo-α-trimethylstannyl (silyl, germyl) acetate. Originally discovered as a trace impurity in a sample of the homoleptic parent complex [Rh<sub>2</sub> ((R)-TPCP)<sub>4</sub> ] (5), it is shown that the protic acetamidate ligand is quintessential for rendering 7 highly enantioselective. The -NH group is thought to lock the ensuing ...[more]
