The electronic effects of Rh(II)-mediated carbenoid intramolecular C-H insertion have been intensively investigated. The chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity of the reaction have been observed to be affected by the electrophilicity of the carbene-Rh intermediate, the substituents on the carbon at which the C-H insertion occurs, and steric and conformational factors.1 It has been well documente...
