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.
