A new type of chemical cascadereaction was found: the direct formation of cyclopropanes from carbonyl compounds and C–H acid. The action of free halogen or active halogen containing compounds on a mixture of 1 equiv of carbonyl compound and 2 equiv of malononitrile in a basic alcohol solution results in the formation of substituted 1,1,2,2-tetracyanocyclopropanes in 15–80% yield. The latter are well-known
