Abstract
Cyclopropane rings true: By selecting the appropriate substituents on the ester and silyl groups, fused cyclopentane derivatives with multiple contiguous stereocenters can be synthesized with excellent diastereoselectivity through Cu II/bisoxazoline-catalyzed intermolecular [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylates and cyclic enol silyl ethers (see scheme).
