Abstract
A cascade Michael-alkylation reaction of diethyl benzylidenemalonates with chloroacetophenones was realized by using K2CO3 as the promoter. With this method, a series of diethyl trans-2,3-disubstituted 1,1-cyclopropane- dicarboxylates have been facilely synthesized in moderate yields under mild conditions. The relative configurations of two typical products were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
