(Figure Presented) The synthesis and characterization of a new chiral rhodium N-heterocyclic carbene complex, Rh(IBiox[(-)-menthyl](CO)2Cl, is reported. In addition, the very high enantioselectivity exhibited by this complex, as a catalyst for the asymmetric hydroarylation of azabicycles, is demonstrated and applied to the synthesis of epibatidine.
