Heptamethyl Indenyl (Ind*) enables diastereoselective benzamidation of cyclopropenes via Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation

The diastereoselective coupling of O-substituted arylhydroxamates and cyclopropenes mediated by Rh(III) catalysis was successfully developed. Through ligand development, the diastereoselectivity of this reaction was improved using a heptamethylindenyl (Ind*) ligand, which has been rationalized using...
