Diastereoselective Cyclopropanation of Terminal, Nonconjugated Alkenes with 2-Oxoethylpyridinium Salts via Nucleopalladation
{{output}}
A highly diastereoselective Pd(II)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of terminal, nonconjugated alkenes using 2-oxoethylpyridinium salts as a "carbenoid" source is reported. An AQ-directed nucleopalladation reaction followed by oxidative ring closure and reductive ... ...
