Zn. Li et Hl. Chen, Catalytic, asymmetric cyclopropanation of diephenylethene mediated by chiral copper-(Schiff base) complexes, REACT KIN C, 73(2), 2001, pp. 217-222
Asymmetric cyclopropanation of diphenylethene with diazoacetates was cataly
zed by new copper-(Schiff base) complexes. The effects of the substituents
in substituted salicylaldehyde on the ee's were studied, and a 94.5% ee was
achieved.
