Abstract
An asymmetric synthesis of various trifluoromethyl cyclopropanes from olefins, such as vinyl ferrocene, vinyl ethers, vinyl amines, vinyl carbamates and dienes, was achieved by using Ru(ii)-Pheox catalysts. This catalytic system can function at a low catalyst loading (3 mol%) compared with those reported previously, and the desired cyclopropane products are obtained in high yields with excellent diastereoselectivity (up to >99 : 1) and enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee).
