18. Alternatively, the initial complex of the electron-deficient carbon with the electron density in the target C-H could be depicted as a three-center, two-electron bond (ref. 9). We initially took this approach computationally, but found that the results did not correlate with the diastereoselectivity observed for the reaction. More recent computational work by Nakamura has confirmed the four-center nature of the transition state for Rh-mediated C-H insertion: NAKAMURA, E.; YOSHIKAI, N.; YAMANAKA, M.J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 224, 7181.

22. Mechanics and ZINDO were used as implemented on the Tektronix CAChe workstation. Although our initial work (ref. 6) included minimizing the Rh-Rh core with ZINDO, we have subsequently found that this approach works just as well with Mechanics alone. The CAChe workstation is particularly well suited to the sort of analysis outlined here, as its superb three-dimensional visualization facilitates understanding of the competing transition states.
