title: Allylation of donor--acceptor cyclopropanes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Direct allylation of glycal-derived donor-acceptor cyclopropanes has been achieved with TiCl(4) activation followed by addition of allyltrimethylsilane. The alpha diastereomer is the major product, with selectivities ranging from 3:1 to 10:1 and yields around 80%.
