Popis: [reaction: see text] Acylcyclopropanemethanol tosylates undergo rapid ring opening at room temperature by the action of lithium telluride to produce the enolate of a homoallylic ketone. The enolate can be protonated to yield the corresponding ketone or treated with benzaldehyde to give the aldol product with good syn or anti diastereoselectivity depending on the conditions.
