Abstract
Catalytic cyclopropanation of spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene with diazomethane in the presence of copper or palladium compounds results in mono- and dicyclopropanation products, namely, spiro[bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-ene-2,1′-cyclopropane] and spiro[cyclopropane-1,5′-tricyclo[4.1.0.02,4]heptane], with different efficiency. The use of Pd compounds as catalysts allows the cyclopropanation to be performed under conditions of simultaneous generation and decomposition of diazomethane.
