Abstract
A stereoselective formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition of cyclopropyl ketones and radical-acceptor alkenes to form polysubstituted cyclopentane derivatives is catalyzed by a chiral Ti(salen) complex via a radical redox-relay mechanism. The cycloaddition constructs two C-C bonds and two contiguous stereogenic centers with generally excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
