Stereodivergent carbometalation reactions of cyclopropenylcarbinol derivatives.
The diastereoselective formation of cyclopropylcarbinol from cyclopropenylcarbinol is very sensitive to the nature of the organometallic used for the carbometalation reaction. Both diastereoisomers can be obtained, at will, from the same precursor.
