Efficient and practical access to chiral aminocyclopropanes is secured by the title reaction (see example). Both E and Z enamides undergo the cyclopropanation with high diastereoselectivity (d.r. up to >95:5). The application of this methodology to the synthesis of biologically significant aminocyclopropanes illustrates the potential of chiral enamides as useful building blocks for stereoselective organic synthesis.
