Zusammenfassung
Here we report Rh(II)-catalyzed monocyclopropanation reactions on pyrroles in the presence of aryldiazoacetates, providing the corresponding dearomatized products with high levels of enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). Under the catalysis of Rh-2(R-p-PhTPCP)(4), a broad range of pyrrole substrates and aryldiazoacetates are shown to be compatible. Utilizing these valuable chiral building blocks, ...

Here we report Rh(II)-catalyzed monocyclopropanation reactions on pyrroles in the presence of aryldiazoacetates, providing the corresponding dearomatized products with high levels of enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). Under the catalysis of Rh-2(R-p-PhTPCP)(4), a broad range of pyrrole substrates and aryldiazoacetates are shown to be compatible. Utilizing these valuable chiral building blocks, we further demonstrate the application of this transformation by synthesizing a homo-beta-proline analog and a beta-aminocarboxylic acid (beta-ACC) derivative from the monocyclopropanated product.
