  • Title: Stereospecific cyclopropanation of highly substituted C-C double bonds promoted by CrCl2. Stereoselective synthesis of cyclopropanecarboxamides and cyclopropyl ketones.

    Journal: Org Lett; 2007 Aug 02; 9(16):2981-4. PubMed ID: 17629282.
    Abstract:
    We describe herein a CrCl(2)-promoted cyclopropanation of alpha,beta-unsaturated amides. This reaction can be carried out on (E)- or (Z)-alpha,beta-enamides in which the C-C double bond is di-, tri-, or tetrasubstituted. In all cases the process is completely stereospecific and only a single diastereoisomer is obtained. In addition, cyclopropyl ketones were readily prepared by reaction of the cyclopropanecarboxamides (derived from morpholine) obtained with a range of organolithium compounds. A mechanism has been proposed to explain the cyclopropanation reaction.
