The rhodium-catalyzed reaction of racemic allyl alcohols with methyl phenyldiazoacetate or methyl styryldiazoacetate results in a two-step process, an initial oxonium ylide formation followed by a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. This process competes favorably with the more conventional O-H insertion chemistry as long as donor/acceptor carbenoids and highly substituted allyl alcohols are used as substrates
