Rhodium(II)-catalyzed reactions of cyclic diazo compounds derived from barbituric acid and thiobarbituric acid with a variety of styrene moieties were examined. These reactions provide rapid synthetic routes to the preparations of spirobarbiturates and spirothiobarbiturates bearing cyclopropane rings.

Efficient synthesis of ${\alpha}$-chloroenones bearing ${\beta}$-carbonates or ${\beta}$-carbamates was achieved by rhodium(II)-catalyzed reaction of cyclic diazodicarbonyl compounds with a variety of chloroformates or carbamyl chlorides in good yields. These reactions provided a useful and rapid route to ${\beta}$-substituted ${\alpha}$-haloenones.

The rhodium(II)-catalyzed reactions of diazo compound derived from Meldrum's acid with a variety of styrenes have been examined. These reactions provide a rapid route to the preparation of cyclopropanes with a variety of substituents on the benzene ring. The mechanistic pathway for the formation of these products has been also described in terms of a stepwise mechanism.
