Abstract
1. The reduction of the activated cyclopropene double bond with lithium aluminum hydride is stereospecific and leads to alcohols of the cyclopropane series even at reduced temperatures. The reaction has a high degree of regioselectivity; initial attack by the hydride ion occurs at the oxygen atom adjacent to the methoxycarbonyl group. 2. The reduction of functionally substituted methylenecyclopropane takes place either with retention of the exocyclic double bond or with its reduction, depending on the conditions.
