%X The Cu-catalyzed intramolecular CH insertion of phenyliodonium ylide 5b has been investigated at 0¡ã C in the presence of several chiral ligands. Enantioselectivities vary in the range of 38¨C72 %, and are higher than those resulting from reaction of the diazo compound 5c at 65¡ã C. The results are consistent with a carbenoid mechanism for Cu-catalyzed decomposition of phenyliodonium ylides.
