Cyclopropane rings are aprominent structural motif in biologically active molecules.E nantio-and diastereoselective construction of cyclopropanes through C À Hactivation of arenes and coupling with readily available cyclopropenes is highly appealing but remains ac hallenge.Adual directinggroup-assisted CÀHactivation strategy was used to realizemild and redox-neutral Rh III -catalyzed CÀHa ctivation and cyclopropylation of N-phenoxylsulfonamides in ah ighly enantioselective,d iastereoselective,a nd regioselective fashion with cyclopropenyl secondary alcohols as ac yclopropylating reagent. Synthetic applications are demonstrated to highlight the potential of the developed method. Integrated experimental and computational mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds via aR h V nitrenoid intermediate,a nd Noyori-type outer sphere concerted proton-hydride transfer from the secondary alcohol to the Rh = Nb ond produces the observed trans selectivity.
