Mm. Diaz-requejo et al., A family of highly active copper(I)-homoscorpionate catalysts for the alkyne cyclopropenation reaction, CHEM COMMUN, (18), 2001, pp. 1804-1805
Equimolar mixtures of ethyl diazoacetate and alkynes can be converted into
cyclopropenes in very high yields, at room temperature, through the interme
diacy of readily available Cu(I) catalysts containing trispyrazolylborate l
igands.
