Abstract

[reaction: see text] 1,2-Disubstituted cyclopropanes were synthesized in a nonracemic fashion via activation of the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in excellent yields. A series of substituted phenyl rings showed higher enantiospecificity for the cyclization as the electron-withdrawing ability of the group increased. The results offer strong support for the existence of competing cation mechanisms.
