Andy S. Tsai, Rebecca M. Wilson, Hitoshi Harada, Robert G. Bergman and Jonathan A. Ellman

---

The enantioselective intramolecular alkylation of substituted imidazoles with enantiomeric excesses up to 98% has been accomplished by rhodium catalyzed C–H bond functionalization with (S,S,R,R)TangPhos as the chiral ligand.
