title: A fluorous chiral dirhodium(II) complex as a recyclable asymmetric catalyst.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The chiral fluorous complex tetrakis-dirhodium(II)-(S)-N-(n-perfluorooctylsulfonyl)prolinate has been prepared and used as a catalyst in homogeneous or fluorous biphasic fashion. The catalyst displays good chemo- and enantioselectivity in intermolecular cyclopropanation and C-H bond activation reactions. The catalyst can be simply and thoroughly separated from the reaction mixture and is recyclable.
