The transition-metal-catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes by the decomposition of diazo compounds is a powerful and straightforward strategy to produce cyclopropanes, but is tempered by the potentially explosive nature of diazo substrates. Herein we report the Mo-catalyzed regiospecific deoxygenative cyclopropanation of readily available and bench-stable 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, in which one of the two carbonyl groups acts as a carbene equivalent upon deoxygenation and engages in the subsequent cyclopropanation process. The use of a commercially available Mo catalyst afforded an array of valuable cyclopropanes with exclusive regioselectivity in up to 90 % yield. The synthetic utility of this method was further demonstrated by gram-scale syntheses, late-stage functionalization, and the cyclopropanation of a simple monocarbonyl compound. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that phosphine (or silane) acts as both a mild reductant and a good oxygen acceptor that efficiently regenerates the catalytically active Mo catalyst through reduction of the Mo-oxo complexes.

Diphosphines, Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 1 (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6), were photolyzed by a xenon lamp in air. The 31P NMR spectroscopic analysis of the reaction showed that 1 is oxidized, according to first-order kinetics, to the monoxide, which is further oxidized to the dioxide. The dependence of the rate constants for the first oxidation on the chain-length n in 1 is interpreted in terms of the orientation of the p-orbitals on the two phosphorus atoms in the intermediate, the diphosphine radical cation.
