A direct nitrene insertion into C-N bonds is observed upon treatment of methano-Tröger bases with arylsulfonyl iminophenyliodinanes under copper and dirhodium catalysis. Novel cyclic imino-methano Tröger bases are obtained (55-88%). Enantiopure products (ee ≥ 99%) can be obtained with tailored substrates
