摘要
A new chiral β-diketone Cu (Ⅱ) catalyst was synthesized and used for the asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with diazoester. A high optical yield (~90%) was achieved. The effect of the structure of substrate on the enantioselectivity was studied. Both chendcal yield and optical yield being reduced when the steric bulky substrate was employed. The reaction mechanism and the chiral model of the transition state are under fufther investigation.
