A mutually pi-facial selective cyclopropanation of chiral enamides using dirhodium(II) carbenoids.
A mutually pi-facial selective cyclopropanation of chiral enamides using dirhodium(II) carbenoids is described here. This work illustrates the influence of enamide substituents on stereoselectivity and reveals insights into this cyclopropanation.
