An axially dissymmetric biphenylcarboxylate ligand, BDME (4), has been newly designed end prepared. The dirhodium(II) complex (1) of (4) proved to be an excellent catalyst in asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with d-menthyl diazoacetate affording d-menthyl cis-2-phenyl-cyclopropane-1-carboxylate of 99% de.
