Abstract
Summary Cyclopropyl ketones are readily cleaved under neutral conditions at room temperature by the combined action of acetyl methanesulfonate and nucleophiles such as Br-, I-, and MsO-. The high-yield reaction involves regiospecific enol acetate formation with a stereoselectivity of nucleophile addition which is compatible with an SN2-type opening of the cyclopropyl ring.
