Abstract
AbstractThe direct diastereo‐ and enantioselective Ru(II)‐ catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction of alkenes with ((2‐diazo‐1,1‐difluoroethyl)sulfinyl)benzene was described. The desired enantioenriched PhSO2CF2‐cyclopropanes were obtained in high yields with high diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities in the presence of a chiral ruthenium complex Ru(II)‐Pheox (17–94% yields, >20:1 d.r. and 83:17–98:2 e.r.). The robustness of the approach was showcased and This methodology gave access to chiral 1,2‐trans difluoro‐methylcyclopropanes.
