[CpRu(CH₃CN)₃][PF₆] and diimine ligands catalyze together the decomposition of α-diazoacetoacetates leading to O-H insertion and condensation reactions. In comparison with Rh(II) and Cu(I) complexes, the CpRu catalysts produce rapid and often more selective reactions. Promising enantioselectivities are obtained in dioxole syntheses.
