Abstract 13 optically active complexes of the type Rh2(OOCR*)4were synthesised, derived from optically active carboxylic acids R* COOH. The new rhodium(II) complexes were used as homogeneous catalysts for the cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate. The product ethyl cis/trans‐2‐phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate was obtained with an optical induction up to 12 %ee.
