title: Rh(I)-catalyzed carbonylative ring opening of diazabicycles with acyl anion equivalents.
abstract: A catalytic desymmetrization of strained alkenes by ring-opening of meso-diazabicycles with acyl anion nucleophiles is reported. Densely functionalized trans-1,2-hydrazinoacyl cyclopentene building blocks are obtained stereoselectively. The acyl anion equivalent is generated in situ under very mild conditions from readily available organoboron precursors.
