β¦ Synopsis
The asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with alkyl diazoacetate was performed with a series of Cu(II) complexes of novel chiral ligands, which were derived from substitution of 1,3-dibromopropane, 1,2-dibromoethane, β£,β£ -dibromo-m-xylene and 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine with 1R, 2S-(-)-ephedrine. These prepared catalysts shown to be highly active in the enantioselective cyclopropanation with ee higher than 89% under the optimal conditions.

Asymmetric cyclopropanation of olefins was carried out with chiral copper-Schiff base complexes derived from copper acetate monohydrate, substituted salicylaldehydes and a chiral amino alcohol. Substituents on salicylaldehyde framework demonstrate a significant effect on the steroselectivities. Thos
