Abstract

Herein we wish to report our development of an improved catalyst (S)-(-)-indoline-2-yl-1H-tetrazole (1) for the enantioselective organocatalyzed cyclopropanation of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with sulfur ylides. The new organocatalyst readily facilitates the enantioselective organocatalytic cyclopropanation, providing cyclized product in excellent diastereoselectivities ranging from 96% to 98% along with enantioselectivities exceeding 99% enantiomeric excess for all reacted α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. The new catalyst provides the best results so far reported for intermolecular enantioselective organocatalyzed cyclopropanation.
