Regio‐ and Diastereoselective Copper‐Catalyzed Carbomagnesiation for the Synthesis of Penta‐ and Hexa‐Substituted Cyclopropanes

Abstract

Despite the highly strained nature of cyclopropanes possessing three vicinal quaternary carbon stereocenters, the regio- and diastereoselective copper-catalyzed carbomagnesiation reaction of cyclopropenes provides an easy and efficient access to these novel persubstituted cyclopropyl cores with a complete regio- and diastereoselectivity.
