Lithium trialkylzincates react efficiently with 1,1-dibromocyclopropanes 5 to give the corresponding alkylation products 7 nonstereoselectively. The reaction proceeds through a 1,2-alkyl migration of the intermediately formed zincate carbenoid 3 in an invertive manner. Reaction of 5 with BuLi followed by successive treatment of the resulting trans-lithium carbenoid 8 with ZnCl2 and an alkyllithium (R2Li) produces the zincate carbenoid trans-3, which, in turn, gives cis-7 stereoselectively (Method B). Reaction of lithium trialkylzincates and trans-1-bromo-1-chlorocyclopropanes 11 prepared in situ by chlorination of the trans-lithium carbenoid with CF2ClCFCl2 yields trans-7 stereoselectively (Method C). 1-Alkylcyclopropylzinc 4, an intermediate of the alkylation reaction, reacts smoothly with acyl, aryl, and alkenyl halides in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst to give the corresponding coupling products 15 and 16. By generating the cyclopropylzinc intermediate 4 stereoselectively by using method B or C, one can obtain the desired stereoisomers of the coupling products with high selectivity.
