Unsaturated bicyclic endoperoxides are efficiently cyclopropanated with excess diazomethane in the presence of catalytic Pd(OAc)<sub>2</sub> in a stereoselective manner. This method represents a new peroxide preserving transformation. Whereas the unsaturated endoperoxides in the [2.2.1] series are attacked by the carbene from the <i>exo</i> face, the analogs with larger bridges are preferentially attacked from the face <i>syn</i> to the peroxo bridge. Only in the case of the benzannelated [2.2.2 ...[more]
