In this work we show that the intramolecular C-H insertion of diazo-acetamides catalysed by di-rhodium(II) complexes can be highly influenced by the axial ligand on the di-rhodium(II) complex. Axially monocoordinated NHC-Rh-2(OAc)(4) complexes have a distinct reactivity from the parent Rh-2(OAc)(4) complex affording the cyclisation products in different rates and selectivities. Surprisingly, a new reaction mode emerged when using these complexes which led to a decarbonylation pathway. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
