31. A reviewer noted that a copper-based catalyst provided very good yields for the cyclopropanation reaction using a 1:1.2 ratio of styrene and the diazoester (BHT derivative). That same catalyst with ethyl diazoacetate gave a 39% isolated yield. See: Lo, M. M.-C.; Fu, G. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 10270-10271.
