Abstract
A convenient and novel domino reaction for the synthesis of highly functionalized cyclopropanes is reported. The addition of 2-bromoketo estere to a variety of α, β-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by secondary amines leads to chiral cyclopropanes with three stereogenic carbon atoms, including one quaternary Stereocenter, in a highly stereocontrolled fashion.
