Deskripsi

Synthesis of cyclopropanes bearing vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters poses synthetic challenges. Here, the authors report an intramolecular radical cyclopropanation with a copper/amine cooperative catalytic system for the efficient construction of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane skeletons, also enantioselectively.
