A Rhodium(II) catalytic approach to the synthesis of ethers of a minor component in a tautomeric set.
[equation--see text] The Rh(II)-catalyzed reaction of diazoacetic esters with various carbonyl compounds is an effective method for the synthesis of acetic ester ethers of the corresponding enol forms.
