The activation of carbon carbon a bonds is a complementary method to access uncommon and difficult-to-prepare organometallic species. Herein, we describe the activation of tert-cyclobutanols through an enantioselective insertion of a chiral rhodium(I) complex into the C-C sigma bond of the cyclobutane, forming a quaternary stereogenic center and an alkyl-rhodium functionality that initiates ring-closure reactions. This technology provides access to a variety of substituted cyclohexane derivatives with quaternary stereogenic centers. The formation of different product families can be controlled by the employed set of reaction conditions and additives. In general, high yields and excellent enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee are obtained.
