title: Highly stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted vinylcyclopropane derivatives via arsonium ylides.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Alkylidene or arylidene malonates reacted with arsonium allylides to give trans-disubstituted cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylates with high stereoselectivity in high yields. The mechanism of the cyclopropanation reactions has also been investigated.
