Abstract
A Rh-catalyzed enantio- and diastereoselective cyclopropanation of terminal and (Z)-internal 2-azadienes with donor/acceptor carbenes derived from α-diazoesters provides aminocyclopropanes with quaternary carbon stereogenic centers vicinal to the amino-substituted carbon. Transformations with internal azadienes afford cyclopropanes with three contiguous stereogenic centers.
