Synergistic catalysis: cis-cyclopropanation of benzoxazoles.

In the present paper we report our latest efforts in pushing the boundaries of synergistic catalysis. We propose the use of 3 different catalytic cycles working in concert for the formation of cis cyclopropane derivatives of benzoxazoles with excellent stereoselectivities. This is the proof of concept that synergistic catalysis could be successfully used in cascade reactions.
