2-Cykloalken-1-one 1,4-di-O-benzyl-L-threitol ketals undergo efficient and diastereoselective cyclopropanation when treated with an excess of the Simmons-Smith reagent.For example, 2-cyclohexen-1-one 1,4-di-O-benzyl-L-threitol ketal gave in 90-98percent yield a 9:1 mixture of diastereomeric cyclopropanes as established by 62.9 MHz 13C NMR spectroscopy and by hydrolysis of the mixture to (1R,6S)-bicycloheptan-2-one.Sixteen other examples are presented which demonstrate the generality and predictability of the process for 2-cycloalken-1-one ketals, as well as an unfortunate lack of diastereoselectivity for α,β-unsaturated 1,4-di-O-benzyl-L-threitol acetals.

Optically active propellanones have been prepared by diastereoselective cyclopropanation of homochiral ene ketals derived from 1,4di-O-benzyl-L-threitol and readily available bicyclic enones.
