Nickel-Catalyzed Cyclopropanation with NMe4OTf and nBuLi

Nickel was identified as a catalyst for the cyclopropanation of unactivated olefins by using in situ generated lithiomethyl trimethylammonium triflate as a methylene donor. A mechanistic hypothesis is proposed in which the generation of a reactive nickel carbene explains several interesting observations. Additionally, our findings shed light on a report by Franzen and Wittig published in 1960 that had been retracted later owing to irreproducibility, and provide a rational basis for the systematic development of the reaction for preparative purposes as an alternative to diazomethane or Simmons-Smith conditions.

Mechanistic Studies on the Nickel-Catalyzed Cyclopropanation with Lithiomethyltrimethylammonium Triflate

We report here our mechanistic study of the previously published nickel-catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction using lithiomethyltrimethylammonium triflate as methylene donor. The cyclopropane yield is highly dependent on the olefin substrate and correlates well with the binding affinity of the olefin to Ni(0) as established elsewhere. On the basis of this observation, we developed a simplified mechanistic model that can explain several odd observations we found in our initial report. Most importantly, a binding equilibrium between the olefin substrate and phosphine ligand appears to govern the ratio between product formation and unproductive ylide decomposition in a side reaction.
Cyclopropanation of Terminal Alkenes through Sequential Atom-Transfer Radical Addition/1,3-Elimination

An operationally simple method to affect an atom-transfer radical addition of commercially available ICH2Bpin to terminal alkenes has been developed. The intermediate iodide can be transformed in a one-pot process into the corresponding cyclopropane upon treatment with a fluoride source. This method is highly selective for the cyclopropanation of unactivated terminal alkenes over non-terminal alkenes and electron-deficient alkenes. Due to the mildness of the procedure, a wide range of functional groups such as esters, amides, alcohols, ketones, and vinylic cyclopropanes are well tolerated.
CYCLOPROPANATION

Page/Page column 5-7, (2015/05/26)
A method of preparing a cyclopropane ring-bearing compound of the formula (I) in which R1 and R2 are independently selected from C1-C10 alky], optionally substituted, or R1 and R2 together with the bonds linking them to the cyclopropane ring, form a monocyclic or bicyciic ring system, which may comprise at least one hetero-atom, comprising the reaction of a compound of formula (II) in which R1 and R2 have the significances hereinabove defined, with a compound of formula (III) in which X is selected a nucieofuge selected from halides and pseudohalides and Y is an electro flige selected from boranes and borates, in the presence of a metal catalyst complex selected from those that a useful for catalytic cyclopropanation and those useful for catalyzing Heck coupling. The method prov ides a particularly easy and non-hazardous method of cyclopropanation.
