Abstract

Abstract The metal catalysed reaction of monosubstituted diazo esters and ketones with 4- [(Z)-ethylidene]-3-methyloxetan-2-one results in the formation of cyclopropanespiro-β- lactones. In contrast to most alkene cyclopropanations, including those involving diketene, the reaction occurs diastereoselectively. A computational model of the reaction has been developed that accounts for the observed stereochemistry. The metal promoted thermal ...
