Abstract

A Rh-catalyzed procedure for the cyclopropanation of alkenes with α-alkyl-α-diazoesters is described. With dirhodium tetraoctanoate, the predominant pathway is β-hydride elimination. While a number of sterically demanding carboxylate ligands serve to avoid β-hydride elimination, it was found that triphenylacetate (TPA) also imparts high diastereoselectivity.

Andrew DeAngelis, Valerie W. Shurtleff, Olga Dmitrenko, and Joseph M. FoxJournal of the American Chemical Society2011 133 (6), 1650-1653A catalytic, enantioselective method for the C−H functionalization of indoles by diazo compounds has been achieved. With catalytic amounts of Rh2(S-NTTL)4, the putative Rh−carbene intermediates from α-alkyl-α-diazoesters react with indoles at C(3) to ...

Neil Grimster, Li Zhang and Valery V. FokinJournal of the American Chemical Society2010 132 (8), 2510-2511Highly reactive rhodium(II) N-trifluoromethylsulfonyl azavinyl carbenes are formed in situ from NH-1,2,3-triazoles, triflic anhydride, and rhodium carboxylates. They rapidly and selectively react with olefins, providing cyclopropane carboxaldehydes and 2,...

Andrew DeAngelis, Olga Dmitrenko, Glenn P. A. Yap and Joseph M. FoxJournal of the American Chemical Society2009 131 (21), 7230-7231Herein, we provide crystallographic and computational evidence that Hashimoto’s Rh2(S-PTTL)4 catalyst adopts a “chiral crown” conformation with a reactive chiral face and an unreactive achiral face. In Rh2(S-PTTL)4, all four tert-butyl groups are aligned ...
