The coupling of carbonyl electrophiles at the donor position of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes is described, representing an inversion of polarity with respect to conventional reactivity modes displayed by these reagents. Specifically, upon exposure of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes to alcohols in the presence of a cyclometalated iridium catalyst modified by (S)-BINAP, catalytic C-C coupling occurs, providing enantiomerically enriched products of carbonyl allylation. Identical products are obtained ...[more]
