title: CpRu-catalyzed O-H insertion and condensation reactions of α-diazocarbonyl compounds.
abstract: [CpRu(CH(3)CN)(3)][PF(6)] and diimine ligands catalyze together the decomposition of α-diazocarbonyl compounds leading to O-H insertion and condensation reactions. In comparison with Rh(II) and Cu(I) complexes, the CpRu catalysts produce rapid and often more selective reactions. Promising enantioselectivities are obtained in dioxole syntheses.
