1-Bis(alkoxycarbonyl)-, 1-alkoxycarbonyl-1-cyano-, and 1,1-dicyanocyclopropane derivatives were obtained in 10–99% yields by the reaction of Br2C(COOR)2, Br2C(CN)(COOR), and KBr[Br2C(CN)2]4, respectively, with olefins and Cu2Br2 in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
fragment is reported. The strategy involves a sulfur ylide mediated cyclopropanation followed by the rearrangement of cyclopropanes and enables the synthesis of a series of benzhydryl derivatives. Mechanistic studies reveal that the cyclopropane rearrangement involves a Lewis acid catalyzed ring-opening followed by the 1,2-migration of an aryl group. The possibility of controlling the absolute stereochemistry
