[reaction: see text] Mild Ni(0)-catalyzed rearrangements of 1-acyl-2-vinylcyclopropanes have been developed. The room-temperature isomerizations afford dihydrofuran products in yields regularly greater than 90%. A highly substituted, stereochemically defined cyclopropane was employed in the rearrangement to evaluate the reaction mechanism. Product analysis indicates that the overall reaction proceeds with retention of configuration at the vinyl-bearing stereogenic center.
