title: Sequential elimination-cyclopropanation reactions promoted by samarium: highly diastereoselective synthesis of cyclopropylamides.
abstract: trans-Cyclopropanamides were obtained, in high yield, from 2-chloro-3-hydroxyamides by a sequenced elimination-cyclopropanation process promoted by Samarium/diiodomethane or Samarium diiodide and Samarium/diiodomethane.
