The extent of stereodifferentiation in intermolecular cyclopropanation and cyclopropenation reactions has been determined with chiral diazoacetate esters possessing chiral auxiliaries derived from d- and l-menthol, (+)-trans-2-phenylcyclohexanol, and (-)-D-pantolactone, catalyzed by chiral dirhodium(II) tetrakis(methyl 2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylates).
