DI: 10.1038/CEM.1406 SUPPLEMETARY IFRMATI General Information: All solvent were purified and dried using standard procedures. Diazo compounds 3 were prepared according to literature procudures 1 and 1 were prepared according to similar literature procedures. 2 Aldimines 2 were prepared from condensation of the corresponding aromatic aldehydes with anilines according to the literature method. 3 Indoles 4 were either commercial available or prepared according to literature procedures. 4 Chiral phosphoric acids 7a-7i were prepared according to literatures. 5-9 All reactions were carried out under argon atmosphere in a well-dried glassware. All MR spectra were recorded on a uker spectrometer at 500 Mz ( 1 MR) and 125 Mz ( 13 C MR) or a uker spectrometer at 400 Mz ( 1 MR) and 100 Mz ( 13 C MR). Chemical shifts (δ value) were reported in ppm down field from internal tetramethylsilane (TMS). ptical rotations were determined using a polaar 3005 polarimeter and were reported as [α] 10 D (concentration in grams/100ml solvent). Melting points were determined on a microscopic apparatus and were uncorrected. IR spectra were recorded using uker Tensor27 spectrometer. RMS (ESI) Mass Spectra were recorded on IonSpec FT-ICR mass spectrometer. Enantiomeric excesses (ee) of the products were determined by igh Performance Liquid Chromatography (PLC) on Shimadazu SPD-20AV UW-VIS Detector and LC-20AT Liquid Chromatography Pump. Chiralpad IA, AD, D- columns were purchased from Daicel Chemical Industries, LTD. The racemic standards used in PLC studies were prepared according to the general procedure without using BIL derived phosphoric acids or using racemic BIL derived phosphoric acids. 2 ATURE CEMISTRY www.nature.com/naturechemistry 2

DI: 10.1038/CEM.1406 SUPPLEMETARY IFRMATI 1. Typical Procedure for the Reaction 1.1 General procedure for the reactions of diazoacetamides with imines A mixture of Rh 2 (Ac) 4 (0.002 mmol), imine 2 (0.1 mmol), PPAs 7b (0.01 mmol) in 1.0 ml C 2 Cl 2 under an argon atmosphere was stirred at the -20 C. Diazo compound 1 (0.2 mmol) in 1.0 ml C 2 Cl 2 was added over 1hr via a syringe pump. After the completion of the addition, the reaction was stirred at -20 C for another 1hr and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the crude product. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: EtAc/light petroleum ether = 1:15 ~ 1:5) to give the pure product. Diastereoselectivity was determined either by 1 MR spectroscopy or PLC analysis of the crude reaction mixture and enantioselectivity was determined by chiral PLC analysis. The analytical data for the products are listed below. 1.2 General procedure for the reactions of α-phenyl-α-diazoacetates and indoles with imines A mixture of Rh 2 (Ac) 4 (0.0025 mmol), imine 2 (0.3 mmol), indole 4 (0.25 mmol), PPAs 7b (0.005 mmol) and 4 Å MS (100 mg) in 2.0 ml toluene under an argon atmosphere was stirred at the -10 C. Diazo compound 3 (0.3 mmol) in 2.0 ml toluene was added over 1hr via a syringe pump. After the completion of the addition, the reaction was stirred at the -10 C for another 6hr and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the crude product. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: EtAc/light petroleum ether = 1:100 ~ 1:40) to give the pure product. Diastereoselectivity was determined by 1 MR spectroscopy of the crude reaction mixture and enantioselectivity was determined by chiral PLC analysis. The analytical data for the products are listed below. 1.3 Procedure for controlled deuterium labeling experiment (Figure 3-b) A mixture of Rh 2 (Ac) 4 (0.002 mmol) and PPA (S)-7b (0.01 mmol) in 1.0 ml C 2 Cl 2 (C 2 Cl 2 containing 300 ppm 2 determined by a Karl-Fishier titrimeter) was stirred 3 ATURE CEMISTRY www.nature.com/naturechemistry 3

DI: 10.1038/CEM.1406 SUPPLEMETARY IFRMATI at 25 o C under an argon atmosphere. Diazo compound d 5-1a (0.1 mmol) in 1.0 ml C 2 Cl 2 was added over 1hr via a syringe pump. After completion of the addition, the reaction solution was stirred at 25 C overnight and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a crude product as oil. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: EtAc/light petroleum ether = 1:10 ~ 1:5) to give the pure product. The deuterium content was determined by 1 MR spectroscopy of the pure product. 4 ATURE CEMISTRY www.nature.com/naturechemistry 4
