Abstract
An easy and efficient method for the synthesis of multisubstituted cyclopropane derivatives from electron-deficicent alkenes with 2-bromo-1,3-propanedione compounds was described. For this method, ethyl α-cyanocinnamate derivatives 1 and β,β-dicyanostyrene derivatives 4 can all smoothly reacted with 2-bromo-1,3-propanedione compounds 2 to afford the corresponding multisubstituted cyclopropane derivatives 3 and 5 in good to excellent yields(up to 100%) promoted by anhydrous K3PO4 in DMF at room temperature, respectively. A possible mechanism of this reaction was proposed. Structures of all the products were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS.
This method efficiently synthesizes multisubstituted cyclopropane derivatives from electron-deficient alkenes with 2-bromo-1,3-propanedione compounds in good to excellent yields, with a possible mechanism proposed.
