Abstract

Abstract The intramolecular cyclopropanation of various trans-allylic diazoacetates and alkenyl diazoketones has been achieved with excellent enantioselectivities of up to 98% ee and in quantitative yields by using a water-soluble ruthenium (II)/hydroxymethyl (phenyl) oxazoline catalyst in a water/ether biphasic medium. The catalyst could be reused at least five times.
