Enolates obtained by the 1,4-addition of Me3SnLi to α,β-enones react with aldehydes or ketones to afford β-stannyl-β’-hydroxy ketones. Treatment of the products with methanesulfonyl chloride or other suitable reagents affords acyl cyclopropane derivatives. Complete chiral transfer from chiral aldehydes to cyclopropane ring was achieved.
