, p. 6778 - 6781 (2005)
Influential neighbors: 1,2-Chirality transfer provides the basis for a novel asymmetric synthesis of cyclopropanes by irradiation of enantiomerically pure alkyl phenyl ketones bearing a leaving group X in the α position. The photochemically excited carbonyl group is able to distinguish between the diastereotopic positions γ and γ′ in terms of a desymmetrization. In some cases the configuration is influenced by the temperature. (Chemical Equation Presented).
