Abstract
Allylic alcohols reacted with Et2Zn and CH2I2 in the presence of a catalytic amount of fluorous disulfonamide 3a to afford the corresponding cyclopropylmethanols in 69%-quantitative yields with 49–85% ee. Recovery of the fluorous ligand 3a was readily performed from the reaction mixture by the fluorous solid-phase extraction (FSPE), and the recovered 3a could be reused without a significant loss of the catalytic activity and enantioselectivity.
