This study describes general methods for the enantioselective syntheses of disubstituted cyclopropane carboxylates including substitution patterns or heterocycle functionality previously observed as significant limitations. The key step is the dirhodium tetracarboxylate-catalyzed asymmetric cyclopropanation of vinyl arenes with aryl- or heteroaryldiazoacetates. The reactions are highly diastereoselective and high asymmetric induction could be achieved using either (<i>R</i>)-pantolactone as a chiral auxiliary or chiral dirhodium tetracarboxylate catalysts.

A novel 1,5-disproportionation reaction has been discovered for 1,4-hydroxy biradicals derived from the photolysis of 9-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl phenyl ketones (1), which undergo mainly Yang cyclization both in solution and the solid state. By applying the solid-state ionic chiral auxiliary method of asymmetric synthesis to the Yang cyclization, enantiomeric excesses as high as 95% were achieved at high reaction conversions. The origin of the reaction selectivity is discussed with the help of X-ray crystallography. In addition, the solid-state photoreaction of ketone 1b was found to occur in a single crystal-to-single crystal fashion.Key words: photochemistry, 1,4-hydroxy biradical, disproportionation, asymmetric induction, ionic chiral auxiliary, single crystal-to-single crystal reaction.

Since Garner’s aldehyde has several drawbacks, first of all is prone to racemization, alternative three-carbon chirons would be of great value in enantioselective syntheses of natural compounds and/or drugs. This review article summarizes applications of N-(1-phenylethyl)aziridine-2-carboxylates, -carbaldehydes and -methanols in syntheses of approved drugs and potential medications as well as of natural products mostly alkaloids but also sphingoids and ceramides and their 1- and 3-deoxy analogues and several hydroxy amino acids and their precursors. Designed strategies provided new procedures to several drugs and alternative approaches to natural products and proved efficiency of a 2-substituted N-(1-phenylethyl)aziridine framework as chiron bearing a chiral auxiliary.
