In conclusion, the tricyclo[4.4.0.05,7]dec-2-ene deriva-
tives 9 and 17 have been synthesized with excellent ee
(95–98% ee). To the best of our knowledge, this is the
first example of preparing the tricyclo[4.4.0.05,7]dec-2-
ene system via the CAIMCP reaction of the a-diazo-b-
keto ester. The chiral cyclopropanes 9 and 17 would
be versatile intermediates for the enantioselective
natural product syntheses, including preparation of
(+)-busidarasin C and acetoxytubipofuran.

10. The experimental procedure for the IMCP reaction of 6:
A
toluene azeotroped [CuOTf]2ÆC6H5CH3 (24.1 mg;
Acknowledgments
0.0465 mmol, 10 mol % as CuOTf) was placed in a dried
flask (20 mL) and to this flask was added a solution of
toluene azeotroped ligand 7b (37.2 mg, 0.140 mmol,
15 mol %) in toluene (7.7 mL) via a cannula. The mixture
was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h and then to the
light blue solution was added a solution of toluene
azeotroped 6 (0.273 g, 0.930 mmol) in toluene (10.8 mL)
via a cannula. The reaction mixture was stirred at room
temperature for 4.5 h, quenched with aqueous NH4OH
solution (5.0 mL) and saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution
(2.5 mL), and extracted with ether (15 mL · 3). The
combined organic layer was washed with brine (10 mL),
dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated. The residue was
purified by flash chromatography (hexane/AcOEt = 100:1)
to afford 9 (0.192 g, 78%, 95% ee) as a white solid:
