We have developed a Rh(III)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of unactivated olefins initiated by an alkenyl C-H activation. A variety of 1,1-disubstituted olefins undergo efficient cyclopropanation with a slight excess of alkene stoichiometry. A series of mechanistic interrogations implicate a metal-carbene as an intermediate. ...[more]
