The intramolecular cyclopropanation of various trans-allylic diazoacetates and alkenyl diazoketones has been achieved with excellent enantioselectivities of up to 98% ee and in quantitative yields by using a water-soluble ruthenium(II)/hydroxymethyl(phenyl)oxazoline catalyst in a water/ether biphasic medium. The catalyst could be reused at least five times.

Intramolecular cyclopropanation of alkenyl α-diazoacetates and alkenyl diazomethyl ketones was examined by using optically active (ON+)Ru(II)(salen) and Co(II)(salen) complexes as catalysts. For the cyclization of 2-alkenyl α-diazoacetates, Co(II)(salen) complexes 9 and 10 were found to be superior catalysts to the corresponding (ON+)Ru(II)(salen) complexes 4 and 5. On the other hand, (ON+)Ru(II)(salen) complex 2 was found to be the catalyst of choice for the cyclization of 3-alkenyl diazomethyl ketones, and complex 4 was found to be a good catalyst for the cyclization of (E)-4-alkenyl diazomethyl ketones. The present study demonstrates that metallosalen complexes, especially optically active (ON+)Ru(II)(salen) and Co(II)(salen) complexes, can serve as efficient catalysts for the cyclization of alkenyl diazocarbonyl compounds, if a suitable salen ligand is used as the chiral auxiliary.

The photophysical and photochemical behavior of a series of secondary and tertiary ω-(β-styryl)aminoalkanes with one to five methylenes separating the styryl and amino groups has been investigated and compared to the intermolecular reactions of 1-phenylpropene with secondary and tertiary amines. The tertiary styrylamines form fluorescent intramolecular exciplexes, but fail to undergo intramolecular addition reactions. Both the rate constant for exciplex formation and the stability of the exciplex are dependent upon the length of the polymethylene chain connecting the chromophores. The failure of the tertiary amine exciplexes to undergo intramolecular addition is attributed to an unfavorable exciplex geometry for α-C-H transfer to the styrene double bond. While the secondary styrylamines do not form fluorescent exciplexes, the dependence of the styrene singlet lifetime upon the polymethylene chain length is similar to that for the tertiary styrylamines. Intramolecular N-H addition to the styrene double bond results in the formation of two regioisomeric (α-phenyl and α-benzyl) cyclic amines of different ring size. The regioisomer of larger ring size is favored except in the case in which four methylenes separate the chromophores. The effects of polymethylene chain length, solvent polarity, temperature, and the bulk of the N-alkyl group upon product yields and ratios are discussed in terms of a mechanism involving singlet exciplex and biradical intermediates.
