RESUMEN
A method for synthesis of 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-enes has been developed by intramolecular cyclopropanation of readily available N-allyl enamine carboxylates. Two complementary reaction conditions, CuBr-mediated aerobic and CuBr2-catalyzed-PhIO2-mediated systems effectively induced stepwise cyclopropanation via carbocupration of alkenes. Oxidative cyclopropane ring-opening of 5-substituted 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-enes was also developed for synthesis of highly substituted pyridines. In addition, diastereoselective reduction of 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-enes to 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes was achieved using NaBH3CN in the presence of acetic acid.

Synthetic methods for 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-enes and 4-carbonylpyrroles have been developed that use copper-mediated/catalyzed reactions of N-allyl/propargyl enamine carboxylates under an O(2) atmosphere and involve intramolecular cyclopropanation and carbooxygenation, respectively. These methodologies take advantage of orthogonal modes of chemical reactivity of readily available N-allyl/propargyl enamine carboxylates; the complementary pathways can be accessed by slight modification of the reaction conditions.
