45. Diazo compounds in which the ethyl group in 2a,b was replaced with a 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl moiety were also prepared. The Rh(II)-catalyzed reaction in 2a resulted in an intractable mixture of products whereas in 2b there was a marked decrease in the regio- and chemoselectivities of the reaction. A complex mixture of products, such as those that had resulted from tertiary C-H insertion, aromatic substitution and cycloaddition, were obtained.
