Abstract

Re(i) tricarbonyl bipyridine and terpyridine complexes catalyse stereospecific cyclopropanation of alkenes; high selectivity of cyclopropane vs coupling and an ee of 73% and 62% for cis- and trans-cyclopropanes of styrene respectively were achieved with the [Re(L)(CO)₃(MeCN)]OTf complex (L = chiral C₂-symmetric terpyridine ligand). © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2007.
