title: Synthesis of cyclopropanes via organoiron methodology: preparation of rac-dysibetaine CPa.
abstract: The cyclopropane containing betaine, rac-dysibetaine CPa, was prepared from (1-methoxycarbonylpentadienyl)-Fe(CO)2PPh3+ by nucleophilic addition of nitromethane anion followed by oxidatively induced reductive elimination.
