An efficient four-step synthetic route from each of four crystalline isotopically labeled (1R)-menthyl (1S,2S)-(+)-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxyates of better than 99% enantiomeric excess has provided multi-gram quantities of the corresponding chiral phenylcyclopropanes. The key transformation involved a bis[1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane]rhodium chloride that catalyzed a highly stereoselective decarbonylation of a trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxaldehyde.

Many carbenoid cyclopropanation reactions promoted by chiral catalysts give product mixtures reflecting impressive diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Few provide a single chiral product efficiently. This limitation has been overcome in cyclopropanations of styrene and isotopically labeled styrenes with α-diazoacetates. Convenient syntheses on a 20 g scale of each of four chiral isotopically labeled (1R)-menthyl (1S,2S)-2- phenylcyclopropanecarboxylates (the 1-d-3-13C, 1,(3S)-d2, 1,2,(3S)-d3, and 1,3,3-d3 isotopomers) of better than 99% ee have been realized.
