A highly facile and efficient electrophilic bromolactonization of cyclopropylcarboxylic acids could be effected by a Lewis basic sulfide catalyst. Mechanistic studies performed revealed that the cyclopropane substrates could undergo radical bromination upon exposure to light, yielding a mixture of regioisomers. In stark contrast, the Lewis basic sulfide catalyst could promote the electrophilic bromolactonization and yield the Markovnikov product exclusively.

The Brown hydroboration reaction, first reported in 1957, is the addition of B?H across an olefin in an anti-Markovnikov fashion. Here, we solved a long-standing problem on mild 1,3-hydroborations of non-activated cyclopropanes. A three-component system including cyclopropanes, boron halides, and hydrosilanes has been developed for borylative ring-opening of cyclopropanes following the anti-Markovnikov rule, under mild reaction conditions. Density functional theory (M06-2X) calculations show that the preferred pathway involves a cationic boron intermediate which is quenched by hydride transfer from the silane.
