12. Initially, we tested a reagent controlled C-H insertion reaction of diazoester 13, which was readily available from 10. Utilizing several chiral rhodium catalysts, the yield and the selectivity of 14 were unsatisfactory as shown in Scheme 3.

14. The absolute configuration of 5 was determined as 2R,3R by comparing the optical rotation with that of reported compound 16, see ref. 13. Preparation of 16 from 5 was performed by a decarbonylation reaction (Schemed).
