Abstract
Herein we described an efficient RhII -catalyzed enantioselective cyclopropenation reaction of internal alkynes with a masked difluorodiazoethane reagent (PhSO2 CF2 CHN2 , Ps-DFA). This asymmetric transformation offers efficient access to a broad range of enantioenriched difluoromethylated cyclopropenes (40 examples, up to 99 % yield, 97 % ee). The synthetic utility of obtained strained carbocycles is demonstrated by subsequent stereodefined processes, including cross-couplings, hydrogenation, Diels-Alder reaction, and Pauson-Khand reaction.
