The reaction occurs in a chemo and stereoselective manner, which is consistent with a directing effect from the oxygen of the allylic moiety. Furthermore, a set of polyenes containing allylic hydroxyl or ether groups were chemoselectively and stereoselectively converted into the corresponding gem-dimethylcyclopropanes in one single step in moderate to good yields mediated by a lithium carbenoid generated in situ by the reaction of n-BuLi and 2,2-dibromopropane.}, publisher = {The Royal Society of Chemistry}, title = {Chemoselective and stereoselective lithium carbenoid mediated cyclopropanation of acyclic allylic alcohols}, doi = {10.1039/c5ob02617b}, author = {Durán Peña, María Jesús and Flores-Giubi, M.
