Herein, we report the first enantio- and diastereoselective addition of stereodefined vinyl organometallic reagents to cyclopropenes. The operationally simple tandem hydroalumination and copper-catalyzed vinylmetalation allows for the unique access of a diverse set of enantioenriched vinylcyclopropane derivatives.
