Abstract:
Easy access on water: A cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric preparation of trifluoromethylcyclopropanes has been developed that yields high enantioselectivities with a broad range of styrene substrates (see scheme). The reaction presents a new access to enantioenriched CF3-containing building blocks.
