Abstract

A triphenylphosphinegold(I)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of olefins using propargyl esters as gold(I)-carbene precursors is reported. This reaction provided the basis for the use of a DTBM-SEGPHOS gold(I) complex as a catalyst in the enantioselective (up to 94% ee) preparation of vinyl cyclopropanes with high cis-selectivity.
