salts from strong carboxylic acids [particularly rhodium(II) trifluoroacetate] are novel and highlyefficient catalysts for the preparation of substituted cycloheptatriene carboxylates from aromatic hydrocarbons and diazo-esters, and in contrast with the classical Buchner procedures these rhodium catalysts lead specifically to the 1-isomer (3), avoiding its subsequent prototropic conversion into conjugated
The polymeric complex [Ru2(CO)4(mu-OAc)2]n is the first Ru(I) catalyst that efficiently catalyzes cyclopropanation of alkenes with diazoacetic esters. The related dinuclear catalyst Ru2(CO)4(mu-OAc)2(MeCN)2 shows a similar performance only for cyclopropanation of monosubstituted alkenes.
