ABSTRACT
The axial-equatorial conformational isomer distribution of the reactant diazoacetoacetate or its metal carbene intermediate is reflected in Rh(II) catalyzed oxonium ylide forming reactions of 3-(trans-2-arylvinyl)tetrahydropyranone-5-diazoacetoacetates that afford diastereoisomeric products for both the symmetry-allowed [2,3]- and the formally symmetry-forbidden [1,2]-oxonium ylide rearrangements.
