A structurally characterized Rh(I) iminocarbene complex (N,C)Rh(CO)Cl is activated with AgOTf to act as a highly cis-selective catalyst for the cyclopropanation of substituted styrenes and other alkenes with ethyl diazoacetate (11 examples, 10-99% yield, up to >99% cis-selectivity).
Marianne Lenes Rosenberg et al.
The Journal of organic chemistry, 76(8), 2465-2470 (2011-03-19)
The performance of recently reported highly cis-diastereoselective Rh(I) cyclopropanation catalysts has been significantly improved by a systematic study of different reaction parameters (catalyst activation, solvent, temperature, stoichiometry). The catalyst efficiency and diastereoselectivity were enhanced by changing the activating agent from

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 134(4), 2075-2084 (2011-11-18)
A novel synthetic strategy toward the asymmetric synthesis of vicinal diols bearing a tertiary center is presented. The method encompasses the dinuclear Mg-catalyzed asymmetric addition of ethyl diazoacetate into several aldehydes, oxidation of the diazo functionality, and diastereoselective alkyl transfer

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 46(46), 8860-8862 (2010-10-23)
Treatment of tertiary amines with diazoacetate in the presence of a catalytic amount of an iron salt, FeCl(3), in ethanol gave glycine derivatives. In this reaction, a carbon-nitrogen single bond of the amine was cleaved.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), (43)(43), 4477-4479 (2007-02-08)
Iron complexes of porphyrins (and corroles to a lesser extent) are the first catalysts to utilize ammonia for the synthesis of N-free amino acid esters.
