A series of diazo carbonyl compounds bearing different substituents have been prepared in order to investigate the steric effect in 1,2-migration reaction of rhodium(II) carbene. Through the investigation on the diazo decomposition of these compounds with Rh2(OAc)4, it was found that the steric effect could dramatically influence the migratory aptitude. In many cases, the steric effect could override the inherent electronic effect of the substituent.
