ChemInform Abstract: Semicorrin Metal Complexes as Enantioselective Catalysts. Part 2. Enantioselective Cyclopropane Formation from Olefins with Diazo Compounds Catalyzed by Chiral (Semicorrinato)copper Complexes.

Abstract

AbstractCopper complexes of chiral semicorrin ligands (preparation described in the preceding paper) are found to be efficient catalysts for the preparation of optically active cyclopropanes such as (III) and (IV) from the alkenes (I) and the diazo compounds (II).
