Abstract

A facile approach for the synthesis of benzo[3.1.0]bicycloalkanes via alkylation/cyclopropanation cascade reactions of benzyl bromide with triphenylphosphonium bromide has been developed. By elaborate designing of starting materials, this multistep cyclization proceeded smoothly with a wide range of substrates, providing the benzo[3.1.0]bicycloalkanes in 52-90% yields with exclusive diastereoselectivity.
