title: Highly enantioselective [3+2] cycloaddition of vinylcyclopropane with nitroalkenes catalyzed by palladium(0) with a chiral bis(tert-amine) ligand.
abstract: An enantioselective [3+2] cycloaddition of vinyl cyclopropane derived from 1,3-indanedione with nitroalkenes catalyzed by palladium(0) with a chiral bis(tert-amine) ligand was developed in high yields with good diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities. The resulting bis(tert-amine)-palladium complex proved to be a highly efficient catalyst for this cycloaddition.
