Abstrakt: The first stereoselective organocatalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes is presented. It is demonstrated that by applying an optically active bifunctional Brønsted base catalyst, racemic di-cyano cyclopropylketones can be activated to undergo a stereoselective 1,3-dipolar reaction with mono- and polysubstituted nitroolefins. The reaction affords functionalized cyclopentanes with three consecutive stereocenters in high yield and stereoselectivity. Based on the stereochemical outcome, a mechanism in which the organocatalyst activates both the donor-acceptor cyclopropane and nitroolefin is proposed. Finally, chemoselective transformations of the cycloaddition products are demonstrated.
