✦ Synopsis
AbstractÐCyclopropanation of styrene with a-diazoacetate in the presence of (R,R)-(salen)ruthenium complex 4 in THF which dissolves the complex exhibits remarkable cis-and enantio-selectivity [cis:trans97:3, .97% ee (1S,2R)], while the same reaction in hexane which does not dissolve it shows good but opposite sense of enantioselectivity [283% ee (1R,2S)] together with moderate cis-selectivity (cis:trans68:32). In homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions, (salen)ruthenium complexes are considered to have different ligandconformation which, in turn, causes the opposite sense of enantioface selectivity in the cyclopropanation.
