Tetrakis[(R)-(-)-(1-adamantyl)-(N-phthalimido)acetato]dirhodium(II)Rh2(R-PTAD)4

This chiral Rh(II) dimer was developed in the Davies lab to perform asymmetric carbene and nitrene reactions (C-H insertion, cyclopropanation, aziridination, C-H amination) with high regio- and stereo-control.

1. Enantioselective reactions of carbenoids and olefins.
2. Enantioselective C–H insertion reactions of carbenoids.
3. Enantioselective oxygen transfer from diazosulfonylamidines.
