α,β-Unsaturated aldehyde acetals add :CCl2 (obtained in accordance with Makosza procedure) to form gem-dichlorocyclopropanecarboxaldehyde acetals (1) in high yields when the ratio of reactants is no less than 1:4. The addition of :CCl2 to polyunsaturated aldehyde acetals in the above conditions proceeds regioselectively at double bonds enriched by electrons. Compounds 1 are reduced by sodium in liquid
