A new synthetic route to methylenomycin B via Rhodium(II)-mediated decomposition of α,β-unsaturated α'-diazoketones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919108020785

A new synthesis of methylenomycin B, involving Rh(II)-catalyzed, intramolecular carbon-hydrogen insertion of diazoketone 2c, derived from 2,3-dimethyl-2-butenoic acid 2b, is reported.
