Enantioselective Cobalt‐Catalyzed Preparation of Trifluoromethyl‐Substituted Cyclopropanes

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. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
