Abstract

The metal complex catalyzed reaction of an alkene with an R-diazo ester is an efficient method for the preparation of cyclopropane derivatives. 1 However, since diazo compounds are unstable intermediates, the use of this method for the preparation of cyclopropanecarboxylates is fraught with hazards on a large scale. In consequence, we sought to explore the possibility of generating cyclopropanecarboxylate esters from ...
