For the first time, a-formyldiazoacetates have been successfully applied for the asymmetric cyclopropanation of alkenes via Co(II)-based metalloradical catalysis. The cobalt(II) complex of the D2symmetric chiral amidoporphyrin [Co(3,5-DiBu-ChenPhyrin)] is an effective metalloradical catalyst that can activate a-formyldiazoacetates to cyclopropanate both aromatic and aliphatic olefins with varie...
