Abstract

A lanthanum(III) triflate catalyzed cyclopropanation protocol involving the methylene transfer from epoxides to olefins is described. The resulting aldehydes and ketones are obtained in good yield and the reactions proceed with high ­diastereoselectivity. Furthermore, enantioenriched cyclopropanes can be obtained following asymmetric epoxidation and methylene transfer reactions.
