Significance

The discovery of new reactions mediated by organic radical intermediates continues to provide solutions to challenging synthetic problems in conventional two-electron chemistry. The authors have developed a Ti-catalyzed stereoselective formal [3+2] cycloaddition of cyclopropyl ketones and alkenes.

Comment

This catalytic cycloaddition through a radical-redox-relay mechanism provides chiral polysubstituted cyclopentane derivatives containing two contiguous stereogenic centers in high yields and with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.
