A New Synthetic Route to Electrophilic Cyclopropane Derivatives from Olefins

Abstract
1,1-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).
