Cover Picture: Modulable and Highly Diastereoselective Carbometalations of Cyclopropenes (Chem. Eur. J. 4/2014)

Abstract

For each goal, a metal! A simple set of carbometalation‐based sequences transform readily available cyclopropene esters into a diverse variety of chiral building blocks, including quaternary stereocenters or stereodefined double bonds. Yields are high and the excellent diastereoselectivity is metal‐additive controlled. For more details see the Full Paper by I. Marek et al. on
