The development of chemoselective methods for CH activation would broaden the range of strategies that could be used for the synthesis of complex molecules. 1, 2 A very attractive method for catalytic asymmetric CH activation is the CH insertion chemistry of metal-carbenes. 3 The enantioselective intramolecular version of the metal-carbene CH insertion is well established. 4 Recently, we demonstrated that the enantioselective intermolecular version of this reaction is also very effective with rhodiumcarbenes containing both electron-withdrawing and electrondonating groups. 5 [Rh2 (S-DOSP) 4] is an exceptional chiral catalyst for this transformation. 6 Since then, highly enantioselective CH activation of alkanes, 7 alkenes, 8 polyenes, 9 tetrahydrofuran, 7 N-BOC protected cyclic amines, 10 and allyl silyl ethers11 have been reported. 12 In this paper we describe the application of the asymmetric CH activation to the synthesis of products that would be more typically derived from an asymmetric Michael reaction. 13 The key step is the Rh2 (S-DOSP) 4-catalyzed decomposition of methyl aryldiazoacetates in the presence of silyl enol ethers (eq 1).
