title: Highly enantioselective intramolecular copper catalyzed C-H insertion reactions of alpha-diazosulfones.
abstract: Excellent enantiocontrol (up to 98% ee) is achieved in copper catalyzed C-H insertions of alpha-diazosulfones to form thiopyrans, with up to 60% ee in C-H insertions leading to sulfolanes.
