โฆ Synopsis
The chiral ligand " -N-salicylidene-4-amino 2.2 paracyclophane 1 was synthesized and resolved. Resolved 1 was ลฝ . complexed to copper II for use as an asymmetric catalyst for the cyclopropanation of selected styrenes and stilbenes by diazoesters. Conversions of styrenes to cyclopropanes were high, typically ) 90% but were less than 40% for the stilbenes. Enantioselectivity was observed for the cyclopropanation of all substrates used, ranging from 8% ee for 1,1-diphenylethylene with t-butyldiazoacetate to 41% for styrene with t-butyldiazoacetate. The origin of the differences in reactivity and enantioselectivity for this catalyst system with the different substraterdiazoester combinations is discussed with regard to a steric model.
