A rhodium-catalyzed one-pot three-component coupling reaction was developed for the synthesis of quaternary alpha,alpha-heterodiaryl carboxylic esters. This reaction involves cross-coupling of the arylrhodium(I) complexes with alpha-aryldiazoacetates to form oxa-pi-allylrhodium complexes. With KOfBu and alkyl halides, tandem alkylation of the allyl complex occurs to form a quaternary stereocenter at the carbenic carbon.
