A Rh-catalyzed intermolecular coupling of diazomalonates with arene C-H bonds is reported. The reaction is initiated by electrophilic C-H activation, which is followed by coupling of the arylrhodium(III) complex with the diazomalonate. In most cases, arenes with oximes, carboxylic acids, and amines as directing groups cross-couple with diazomalonates with excellent regioselectivities and functional
