Abstract

Enantiospecific cycloisomerizations of 1, 6-enynes to form oxabicyclo [4.1. 0] heptene derivatives are described. Enantiospecificity is consistently high regardless of alkene or alkyne substitution, providing a general approach to greatly enantioenriched cyclopropanes. Additionally, a model for stereochemical transfer is proposed.
