Under the conditions of nickel(0) catalysis, enantiomerically enriched vinyl dioxanones engage boroxines or B<sub>2</sub>(pin)<sub>2</sub> in stereospecific cross-coupling to form diverse tetrasubstituted cyclopropanes bearing all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. The collective data corroborate a mechanism involving nickel(0)-mediated benzylic oxidative addition with inversion of stereochemistry followed by reversible olefin insertion to form a (cyclopropylcarbinyl)nickel complex, which upon red ...[more]
