1-Aryl-2,2-difluorocyclopropenes ArC3HF2 undergo asym. hydrosilylation with pinBSiPhMe2 catalyzed by copper(I) complexes with mono- and bidentate chiral phosphines, affording trans-silylcyclopropanes ArCH(CF2)CHSiPhMe2 with up to 95% ee, which upon desilylation gave chiral 2-aryl-1,1-difluorocyclopropanes. Optically active cyclopropanes have been widely investigated especially from the views of pharmaceutical and agrochem. industries, and substituting one of the methylenes with the difluoromethylene unit should be promising for developing novel biol. relevant compounds and functional materials. In this paper, the copper-catalyzed enantioselective hydrosilylation of gem-difluorocyclopropenes to provide the corresponding chiral gem-difluorocyclopropanes is presented. The use of copper(I) chloride, chiral ligands including bidentate BINAPs and monodentate phosphoramidites, and silylborane Me2PhSi-Bpin accompanying sodium tert-butoxide in methanol was appropriate for the enantioselective hydrosilylation of the strained C:C double bond, and the resultant chiral difluorinated three-membered ring was unambiguously characterized. Subsequent activation of the silyl groups in enantio-enriched gem-difluorocyclopropanes showed substantial reduction of the enantiopurity, indicating cleavage of the distal C-C bond leading to the transient acyclic intermediates.
