Catalytic enantioselective synthesis of alkylidenecyclopropanes

The enantioselective construction of small ring carbocycles provides organic chemists with an enduring challenge.1 Despite their commercial importance, enantioselective synthetic routes towards alkylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs), a class of small ring carbocycles, remain underdeveloped.2,3 Importantly, ACPs can be converted into cyclopropanes, a common feature in drug molecules (e.g. Nirmatrelvir, 1),4 as well as both naturally occurring and synthetic agrochemicals (e.q. permethrin 2).5,6 …
