Abstract


Chiral dirhodium complex catalyzed decomposition of diazo compounds results in a
wide range of useful and highly stereoselective transformations. The symmetry of the
catalyst has been considered as an important factor in its ability to induce
stereoselectivity. In the first chapter of this dissertation, a series of highly symmetric
dirhodium complexes containing mono, di, and tetra-binaphthylphosphate ligands were
synthesized. The influences of substituents at the 3.3'- and 4,4',6,6'- positions of the
binaphthyl scaffold on the complex's catalytic reactivity were systematically studied. The
synthesis of chiral dirhodium carboxylate complexes containing admantyl groups was
also briefly explored. Two of this type of complexes were effectivly synthesized in very
short sequence from aryldiazoacetates and admantane.

The second chapter of this dissertation focused on the reaction of donor/acceptor
carbenoids with alcohols. A novel tandem ylide formation/[2,3]-sigmatropic
rearrangement between donor/acceptor carbenoids and allylic alcohols or propargylic
alcohols was discovered and systematically studied. α-Hydroxycarboxylate derivatives
containing one tertiary alcohol stereocenter were synthesized with excellent
stereoselectivity (up to >97:3 dr and >99% ee), when dirhodium tetraprolinate, Rh2( S-
DOSP)4, was used as catalyst. It was found that chirality of the catalyst had dominant
effect on the configuration of the tertiary alcohol stereocenter in the product, and the
chirality of the alcohols had domnant effect on the second stereocenter generated in the
rearrangement. Donor/acceptor carbenoids had distinct advantage than the conventional
acceptor and acceptor/acceptor carbenoid in favor of the [2,3]-sigmatropic
rearrangement. A highly enantioselective [1,2]-Stevens rearrangement between
donor/acceptor carbenoids and tertiary benzyl alcohol was also briefly studied. α-
Hydroxycarboxylates containing two adjacent quaternary centers were formed in 78-94%
ee.
