Designing new ligands: asymmetric cyclopropanation by Cu(i) complexes based on functionalised pyridine-containing macrocyclic ligands.
The synthesis and characterisation of copper(i) complexes, including two crystal structures of the new chiral pyridine-containing macrocyclic ligands (PC-type), and their use as catalysts in asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions are reported.
