Abstract

A series of enantioselective cyclopropanation reactions of substituted alkenes with diazoacetates was investigated in the presence of Cu(OTf)₂ with C₂-symmetric planar-chiral bridged 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridines. Planar-chiral terpyridine-copper complexes exhibited moderate diastereomeric excesses with good enantioselectivities of cis-cyclopropane products in catalytic asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions of various styrene derivatives with ethyl diazoacetate. A remote steric effect was found to enhance enantioselectivity for the cyclopropanation induced by a sterically demanding substituent beyond the ansa-bridge of pyridinophane ligands on the other side of the reaction site as a relay of steric influences through flexible cyclophane bridges.
