described. Nitrocyclopropane carboxylates can be readily prepared through treatment of α-nitroesters and iodobenzene diacetate or α-nitro-α-diazoesters with a Rh(II) catalyst and an olefin. Reduction of the nitro group using zinc/HCl in i-PrOH affords substituted cyclopropane α-amino esters in modest to high yields (54−99%). A “one-pot” procedure involving sequential cyclopropanation and reduction is described
