via homoconjugate addition of organoboron nucleophiles to diester- and ketone-functionalized cyclopropanes. Electron donor group cyclopropane substituents were not needed, allowing electron-deficient aryl, alkenyl, alkyl, and hydrogen-substituted cyclopropanes to be used. The catalytic conditions were compatible with alkenyl, alkynyl, and arylnucleophiles, including ortho-substituted aromatics, to

A novel and practical homoconjugate addition of alkenyl, alkynyl, heteroaryl, and aryl trifluoroborates to arylated cyclopropylketones to synthesize γ,γ-disubstituted ketones is reported. A preliminary mechanistic proposal involving ketone protonation, an intermediary carbocation, and intermolecular nucleophile addition has been made based on control studies.

Bis‐heteroaryl or bis‐aryl stereocenters were formed by an organocatalytic enantioselective conjugateaddition using the respective trifluoroborate salts as nucleophiles. Control studies suggested that fluoride dissociation is necessary in the anhydrous conditions. This strategy is applicable to the synthesis of discoipyrroleD, an inhibitor of BR5 fibroblast migration.
