Popis: Substituted mono- and bis-pinene-[5,6]-bipyridines are useful ligands in asymmetric copper-catalyzed cyclopropanation by styrenes. Copper complexes were prepared either in situ or prior to the reaction. The catalytic reaction of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate and Cu – 11b yields ethyl trans -phenylcyclopropane carboxylate in >99% yield and 87% e.e. at 0°C. The corresponding cis -configured cyclopropane was produced with an e.e. of 90%. The cis / trans ratio is 22:78. Other ligands of this series are less effective. Various olefins were tested as substrates but exo -methylene olefins show the best results.
