1-Ethenylcyclopropyl sulfonates underwent regioselective electrophilic γ-substitution by carbonyl compounds in the presence of palladium(0) (5%) and of diethylzinc (2 equiv), to provide 3-cyclopropylidenepropan-1-ol derivatives in high yields (74-85%); however, the α-substitution which led to 1-ethenylcyclopropylcarbinol derivatives was governed by the trialkylsilyl substituent effect.
