method utilizes the unique reactivity of an intermediate Mg–enolate dianion, which displays selectivity for the carbonyl carbon of chloromethyl carbonyl electrophiles. Decarboxylation of the intermediate occurs spontaneously during the reaction quench. The utility of the reaction products has been demonstrated through the total synthesis of the natural product cimiracemate B.
