title: Highly selective ylide-initiated Michael addition/cyclization reaction for synthesis of cyclohexadiene epoxide and vinylcyclopropane derivatives.
abstract: On the basis of the reactions of camphor-derived sulfur ylide with alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone, highly efficient and selective synthesis of optically active cyclohexadiene epoxides and vinylcyclopropanes with excellent diastereoselectivities, moderate to high enantioselectivities, and yields has been achieved.
