By variation of the aryl substituents of silyl enol ethers 1a–e and 1f–k , the influence of their nucleophilicity on the stereochemical outcome of cyclopropanation reactions was studied. Using the neutral Schiff‐base catalyst 2 · Cu(OAc) 2 , there was only a weak effect. On the other hand, with the cationic bisoxazoline complex 3 · CuOTf a remarkable increase in the enantioselectivity was observed with more strongly electron‐attracting substituents such as a trifluoromethyl or nitro group.
