  1. aUnless otherwise noted, the reactions were carried out with A1 (0.05 mmol), diazo ester B (0.025 mmol), Sc(OTf)3/L* (1.3:1, 10 mol%) in solvent under air atmosphere for 12 h.
  2. bDetermined by 1H NMR, 0.05 mmol 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane was added as an internal standard.
  3. cDetermined by UPCC and HPLC.
  4. dWith diazo ester B (1.25 equiv.).
  5. eSc(OTf)3/L* was activated in THF for 30 min at 35 °C, then THF was evaporated.
