A. Satake et al., Asymmetric cyclopropanation of ketene silyl acetal with allylic acetate catalyzed by a palladium complex, TETRAHEDR L, 40(18), 1999, pp. 3597-3600
The first asymmetric cyclopropanation of ketene silyl acetal with allylic a
cetate was achieved. New chiral oxazolidinylpyrazole ligands and their eta(
3)-allylpalladium complexes were synthesized. Reaction of cinnamyl acetate
with ketene silyl acetal of ethyl isobutylate in the presence of a palladiu
m complex gave a phenyl cyclopropane derivative in 20 similar to 54%ee. (C)
