摘要

A simple chiral diamine catalyst 111 was successfully applied in the asymmetric cyclopropanation of cinnamone derivatives with stabilized sulfur ylides. The desired c-yclopropanation adducts were obtained in moderate yields (up to 68%) with good enantioselectivities (67-93% ee) and excellent diastereoselectivities (>95:5) under mild conditions.
