Abstract
An efficient and facile method is used to develop new (salen)ruthenium(II) catalysts for the asymmetric cyclopropanation of olefins, in which a chiral additive induces asymmetry in inexpensive and readily synthesized achiral (salen)ruthenium(II) catalysts (see scheme; EDA = ethyl diazoacetate). This approach is amenable to parallel-screening optimization and has great potential advantages over traditional catalyst development and synthetic methods. (Chemical Equation Presented)
