Three cis ‐selective Co(II)‐salen complexes have been developed for the asymmetric cyclopropanation of para ‐fluorinated styrenes with ethyl diazoacetate. Increasing the steric reach of the C 2 ‐symmetric ligand side chains improved the enantiomeric ratio of the reaction from 28:1 to 66:1. The methodology was exemplified by the gram‐scale synthesis of a lead compound for the treatment of castration‐resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), as well as a structurally related analog.
