Diazoacetone reacts with methyl acrylate in the presence of anhydrous GaCl3 to give isomeric methyl 2-acetylcyclopropanecarboxylates rather than pyrazolines obtained from diazo esters or by noncatalytic reactions. In a similar reaction, diazoacetophenone yields methyl 2-benzoylcyclopropanecarboxylates, benzoylmethyl acrylate, and benzoylmethyl 2-benzoylcyclopropanecarboxylate via partial transesterification. Addition of an equimolar amount of GaCl3 to diazoacetone in the system CH2Cl2-HCl-H2O unexpectedly produces 4,5-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one and 1,1'-oxybis(propan-2-one).

A novel diastereoselective cyclopropanation based on readily available chiral bicylic lactams (1b-c, 6a-b) has provided a number of enantiomerically pure cyclopropanes. Cyclopropanations of unsaturated lactams (10a-h, 12-14) were performed using sulfur ylides as well as a 3+2 cycloaddition-photolysis sequence and furnished the desired cyclopropane adducts (16, 17, 19, 22) in fair to excellent yields. In all cases involving sulfur ylides, cyclopropanations proceeded with a high degree of exo/endo diastereoselectivity (>;90%). However, the mode of addition, exo vs endo, was found to be highly dependent on the angular substituent of the unsaturated lactam. In the case of diazoalkane cycloadditions, high regioselectivity was observed in all cases although exo/endo selectivity was governed by the diazoalkane employed. Diazoisopropane, being more reactive than diazomethane, normally led to lower diastereomeric ratios. Minor diastereomers could be readily removed by chromatography or in most cases by a single recrystallization to provide diastereomerically pure cyclopropyl bicyclic lactams (16, 17, 19, 22). Applications of this methodology to compounds of biological significance was exemplified by an asymmetric, total synthesis of cis-(1S, 3R)-deltamethrinic acid (34) and R-(-)- dictyopterene C′ (42) in high enantiomeric purity.
