A Rh-catalyzed procedure for the cyclopropanation of alkenes with alpha-alkyl-alpha-diazoesters is described. With dirhodium tetraoctanoate, the predominant pathway is beta-hydride elimination. While a number of sterically demanding carboxylate ligands serve to avoid beta-hydride elimination, it was found that triphenylacetate (TPA) also imparts high diastereoselectivity. ...[more]
