2-Metallo-2-sulfonylpropanes and 2-metallo-2-nitropropanes react with the dimethyl alkylidenemalonate derived from the acetonide of d-glyceraldehyde to produce the Michael adduct or the corresponding dimethyl cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate. The nature of the product formed and the relative configuration of the cyclopropane derivative depends upon the nature of the leaving group and the conditions used (solvent and counter ion).
