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.

The Brown hydroboration reaction, first reported in 1957, is the addition of B?H across an olefin in an anti-Markovnikov fashion. Here, we solved a long-standing problem on mild 1,3-hydroborations of non-activated cyclopropanes. A three-component system including cyclopropanes, boron halides, and hydrosilanes has been developed for borylative ring-opening of cyclopropanes following the anti-Markovnikov rule, under mild reaction conditions. Density functional theory (M06-2X) calculations show that the preferred pathway involves a cationic boron intermediate which is quenched by hydride transfer from the silane.
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 Additionally, our findings shed light on a report by Franzen and Wittig published in 1960 that had been retracted later owing to irreproducibility, and provide a rational basis for the systematic development of the reaction for preparative purposes as an alternative to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.
CYCLOPROPANATION

Page/Page column 4; 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.
A palladium-catalyzed methylenation of olefins using halomethylboronate reagents

Methylenation of electron-rich olefins is a highly challenging reaction, for which we have developed a new methodology exploiting Pd-catalysis and halomethylboronate reagents, the latter replacing diazomethane and zinc carbenoids as methylene donors. Optimization of the reaction for norbornene and extension to several other olefins are reported, with reasonable-to-excellent yields of cyclopropanes in combination with β-H elimination products. Several mechanisms are plausible for this methylenation reaction.
