Olefin cyclopropanation with aryl diazocompounds upon catalysis by a dirhodium(II) complex
摘要:
A dirhodium(II) complex with N-perfluorooctylsulfonylprolinate ligands is found to catalyze the cyclopropanation of olefins with simple aryl diazomethanes. In contrast to previously reported dirhodium(II) catalysts, the present complex works well not only with very electron-rich olefins such as enol ethers, but also with styrenes. Consequently, the present catalyst allows to prepare functionalized diarylcyclopropanes in moderate yields with good diastereoselectivity for the cis product, whereas the enantioselectivity of the reaction appears negligible.

The modular synthesis of a variety of trans 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropanes in a safe and user-friendly one-pot iron-catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction is described. Easily synthesized N-nosylhydrazones are used as diazo precursors, allowing the in situ generation of electron-rich diazo compounds under mild reaction conditions and their direct participation in the cyclopropanation reaction.
