The synthesis of
cis
‐1,2‐dialkylcyclopropan‐1‐ol by treatment of carboxylic acid esters with at least 2 equivalent of Grignard reagent and a catalytic or equivalent amount of titanium tetraisopropoxide is referred to as the Kulinkovich reaction. The study finds that this reaction proceeds through an intermediate of low‐ valency dialkoxytitanacyclopropane. This reaction has been extensively modified to various other conditions, such as amides, nitriles, lactones, etc. Several modifications have been applied for this reaction, which occur either catalytically or asymmetrically. This reaction has been used for the preparation of cyclopropanols and other noncyclopropyl products.
