1.1.7 Cyclopropanation of Alkenes with C-1

T. R. Belderrain; M. C. Nicasio

Abstract

Cyclopropanation of alkenes is a direct route for the synthesis of cyclopropanes. This can be achieved by various methodologies. Specifically, this chapter is intended to provide an overview of the use of one-carbon reagents in cyclopropanation; thus, only synthetic methodologies regarding the use of methylene-transfer reagents are discussed.

Key words

alkenes - cyclopropanes - diazomethane - carbenes - transition-metal catalysis - dihalomethanes - zinc reagents - ylides
