Abstract

An intramolecular nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reaction of 1,3-diol derivatives provides a range of mono- and 1,2-disubstituted alkylcyclopropanes, including those derived from terpenes, steroids, and aldol products. Additionally, enantioenriched cyclopropanes are synthesized from the products of proline-catalyzed and Evans aldol reactions.
