Abstract

Bicyclic hydrazines, prepared by cycloaddition of cyclopentadiene and diazo compounds, have great synthetic potential. Numerous asymmetric transformations of these building blocks have been developed, involving the electrophilicity of their strained double bond, ring-opening reactions or skeletal rearrangements. All these transformations are fully diastereoselective, and, in some cases­, enantioselective, enabling the preparation of a wide range of useful synthetic intermediates from a single precursor in a few synthetic steps.

The low reactivity and selectivity observed with the QUINAP ligand could arise from the lower stability of the catalytic species generated from neutral rhodium precatalyst (Prof. J. M. Brown, personal communication to L.M.). Cationic rhodium sources have not been evaluated with this ligand in this study.
