Exploring the Generality of Post-Transition State Bifurcations for Metal-Catalyzed C–H Insertion Reactions that Form 4-Membered Rings
Post-transition state bifurcations (PTSBs) previously have been identified in dirhodium-catalyzed C–H insertion reactions that form β-lactones, where a single transition structure provides direct access to both insertion and fragmentation products. Here, we investigate whether this behavior is a general feature of me...
