The first highly enantioselective intramolecular cyclopropanation of electron-deficient olefins, in the presence of Ru(II)--Pheox catalyst, is reported. The corresponding cyclopropane-fused γ-lactones were obtained in high yields (up to 99%) with excellent enantioselectivities (ee up to 99%). Moreover, this method enables efficient access to enantioenriched dicarbonyl cyclopropane derivatives, which are important intermediates for the synthesis of various bioactive compounds.
据报道,在Ru(II)-Pheox催化剂存在下,实现了缺电子烯烃的首例高对映选择性分子内环丙烷化反应。以高产率(高达99%)和优异的对映选择性(对映体过量高达99%)得到了相应的环丙烷稠合γ-内酯。此外,该方法能够有效合成对映体富集的二羰基环丙烷衍生物,这些衍生物是合成各种生物活性化合物的重要中间体。
