Chiral bipyridine–copper(II) complex. Crystal structure and catalytic activity in asymmetric cyclopropanation

Abstract

A chiral bipyridine–copper(II) complex has been prepared and its crystal structure determined. The structure involves a CuN2Cl2 compressed tetrahedral stereochemistry. Chiral bipyridine complexes of copper-(I) and -(II) triflate are active catalysts for asymmetric cyclopropanation of alkenes with enantiomeric excesses up to 92%.
