We describe the first general method for the metal-free cyclopropanation of alkenes by using N-tosylhydrazones as an in situ source of diazo compounds. This new method works with a wide variety of alkenes (styrene derivatives, dienes, enynes, and electron-deficient alkenes) by using N-tosylhydrazones derived from various ketones or aldehydes (aromatic, aliphatic, enones). The reaction is performed with the use of K2CO3 as a base to form the diazo species and is compatible with a wide array of functional groups. A new procedure for the synthesis of cyclopropanes by the formal cyclopropanation of carbonyl compounds and alkenes is described. This metal-free reaction proceeds through the base-promoted decomposition of tosylhydrazones. There is significant tolerance of the functional groups, enabling cyclopropanation in the presence of functionalities often not compatible with other methodologies.

Rhodium(II) and palladium(II) carboxylates are efficient catalysts for the cyclopropanation of olefins by diazo esters.Intramolecular competitions within diolefins and intermolecular competitions between pairs of monoolefins showed quite different cyclopr
