Abstract

Three cis-selective Co(II)-salen complexes have been developed for the asymmetric cyclopropanation of para-fluorinated styrenes with ethyl diazoacetate. Increasing the steric reach of the C2 -symmetric ligand side chains improved the enantiomeric ratio of the reaction from 28:1 to 66:1. The methodology was exemplified by the gram-scale synthesis of a lead compound for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), as well as a structurally related analog.
