title: Cyclohexanones by Rh-mediated intramolecular C-H insertion.
abstract: Some long chain α-aryl α-diazo ketones under Rh catalysis cyclize efficiently to the corresponding cyclohexanones. This is in marked contrast to the cyclizations of α-diazo β-ketoesters, which consistently deliver cyclopentanone products.
