Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

From a single α-silylated carbinol intermediate, easily accessible by carbometallation of cyclopropenes, various scaffolds featuring a quaternary carbon stereocenter could be obtained selectively. The selectivity towards these different products was achieved by either changing the experimental conditions or the nature of the organometallic species involved.
