Abstract
A simple Ag(I)-catalyzed oxidative cyclopropanation of heteroatom-tethered 1,6-enynes for the establishment of valuable functionalized 3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane is presented, which allows the formation of multiple chemical bonds in one step under 20 mol % silver(I) catalysts and air conditions. This approach is highly atom economical, easy to perform, and free of external oxidants and features good to excellent yields and gram-scale synthesis. The preliminary study showed that an uncommon silver carbenoid intermediate might be involved in this process.
