Abstract

A general method to access phenyliodonium ylides from malonates has been developed. These ylides provide easy access to a variety of useful 1,1-cyclopropane diesters using rhodium or copper catalysis. Moreover, the iodonium ylide of dimethyl malonate was obtained in 78% yield using improved conditions that involve a simple filtration step to isolate the desired product. This ylide was shown to be a safer and convenient alternative to the corresponding diazo compound and a very efficient way to 1,1-cyclopropane diesters when used with a catalytic amount of Rh(2)(esp)(2).
