Abstract

Abstract Reaction of non-activated olefines with active methylene compounds was accomplished under solid-liquid phase-transfer conditions, in the presence of iodine, to give electrophilic cyclopropanes of a wide range of substituents. Several data to the mechanism of the reaction are also given.
