General Information
For chromatography, 200–300 mesh silica gel (Qingdao,
China) was employed. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were re-
corded at 200 and 50 MHz with a Varian Mercury 200 spec-
trometer, or 300 and 75 MHz with a Varian Mercury 300
spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm using tet-
ramethylsilane as internal standard. Mass spectra were ob-
tained on a VG ZAB-HS mass spectrometer.
For the preparation of the diazo substrates and the char-
acterization data of all new compounds, see the Supporting
Information.

Typical Procedure for Rh2
Insertion Reaction
(OAc)4-Catalyzed N H
To a solution of 4a (138 mg, 0.5 mmol) and Rh2
(2 mg, 0.005 mmol) was added p-MeC6H4NH2 (0.75 mmol,
80 mg) at 508C. After the reaction has finished, the solvent
was evaporated under vacuum. Then purification by column
chromatography of the mixture gave the pure 11a as a pale
yellow solid; yield: 163 mg (92%).

To a solution of 1 (100 mg, 0.5 mmol) and CuPF6(MeCN)4
G
(9 mg, 0.025 mmol) was added PhNH2 2a (70 mg,
0.75 mmol) at room temperature. After completion of the
reaction as monitored by TLC, the solvent was evaporated
under vacuum. Then purification by column chromatogra-
phy of the mixture gave the pure 3a as a pale yellow oil;
yield: 119 mg (90%).
The procedure of the reaction of 11a catalyzed by Cu(I) is
the same as that for the Cu(I)-catalyzed tandem reaction.
