[GRAPHICS]
The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of cyclopropylboronic acids
with acyl chlorides was achieved by the combination of Ag2O and K2CO3 as t
he base. Highly enantiomerically enriched cyclopropyl ketones (ee >90%) wer
e also obtained by the reaction of corresponding chiral cyclopropylboronic
acids.
