Notes:
Thermal reactions of Fischer carbene complex 1 with trisubstituted electron-deficient 1,3-dienes 7, 8, 23, 25, 32, and 35 provided highly substituted vinylcyclopropanes in good yields. The carbene transfer proceeds highly regioselectively favouring cyclopropanation of the double bond not bearing the ester function. In addition, the diastereoselectivity is generally fairly high in preference of cyclopropanes with the methoxy group cis-positioned with respect to the olefin moiety. The reaction of methylcarbene complex 2 with diene ester 8 displays inversed regioselectivity. These observations are discussed together with solvent effects, and a mechanistic rationale is presented.
