In this work, the one-step diastereoselective synthesis of cis-2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofuransviaLewis acid catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloadditions of donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes and aldehydes is described. The scope and limitations with respect to both reaction partners are provided. A detailed examination of the mechanism has been performed, including stereochemical analysis and electronic profiling

C2-symmetricbis(oxazoline)−Cu(II) complexes 1 catalyze the Mukaiyama Michael reaction of alkylidene malonates and enolsilanes. The use of hexafluoro-2-propanol is essential to induce catalyst turnover. High enantioselectivities are exhibited by bulky alkylidene malonate β-substituents using catalyst 1a. The glutarate ester products are readily decarboxylated to provide chiral 1,5-dicarbonyl synthons
