Abstract

A twofer: The title reaction sequence for cyclopropenes allows the preparation of aldehydes bearing α-quaternary stereocenters in a one pot-reaction from readily available starting materials. Through a diastereodivergent carbometalation reaction, both enantiomers of the corresponding aldehyde were obtained from the same cyclopropene derivative (see scheme).
