Stereoselective construction of nitrile-substituted cyclopropanes

Abstract
Nitrile-substituted cyclopropanes are readily synthesized in a stereocontrolled fashion from the intermolecular cyclopropanation between 2-diazo-2-phenylacetonitrile and electron-rich olefins, catalyzed by the chiral dirhodium complex, Rh2(S-PTAD)4.
