Two of the stereoisomers were also efficient catalysts affording high enantiomeric excess of up to 91.8%. A mechanism that predicts the observed results accurately was proposed.展开更多
A new chiral β-diketone Cu (Ⅱ) catalyst was synthesized and used for the asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with diazoester. A high optical yield (~90%) was achieved.

A high optical yield (~90%) was achieved. The effect of the structure of substrate on the enantioselectivity was studied. Both chendcal yield and optical yield being reduced when the steric bulky substrate was employed. The reaction mechanism and the chiral model of the transition state are under fufther investigation.展开更多
