Synthesis of enantioenriched α-chiral bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes

Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs), useful surrogates for para-substituted arenes, alkynes, and tert-butyl groups in medicinal chemistry, are challenging to prepare when featuring stereogenic centers adjacent to the BCP. We report the development of an efficient route to α-chiral BCPs, via highly diaster...
