Computational chemical analysis of Ru(II)-Pheox–catalyzed highly enantioselective intramolecular cyclopropanation reactions was performed using density functional theory (DFT). In this study, cyclopropane ring–fused γ-lactones, which are 5.8?kcal/mol more stable than the corresponding minor enantiomer, are obtained as the major product. The results of the calculations suggest that the enantioselectivity of the Ru(II)-Pheox–catalyzed intramolecular cyclopropanation reaction is affected by the energy differences between the starting structures 5l and 5i. The reaction pathway was found to be a stepwise mechanism that proceeds through the formation of a metallacyclobutane intermediate. This is the first example of a computational chemical analysis of enantioselective control in an intramolecular carbene-transfer reaction using C1-symmetric catalysts.

A series of allylic diazoacetates were prepared from the corresponding allylic alcohols and bromoacetyl bromide. When the allylic diazoacetates were treated with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene and N-bromosuccinimide, a rapid full conversion to the corresponding allylic bromodiazoacetates occurred. Exposure of the allylic bromodiazoacetates to rhodium(II) catalysts induced an intramolecular cyclopropanation and gave cyclopropyl bromolactones in yields that were low to good, depending on the substitution pattern.
