| Abstract: | A highly diastereo‐ and enantioselective cyclopropanation of β,γ‐unsaturated α‐ketoesters with bromonitromethane has been successfully developed through a domino Michael‐addition/intramolecular‐alkylation strategy. Acceptable yields (up to 89 %) and enantioselectivities (up to 96 % ee) have been obtained. |
