Abstract
Substituted cyclopropyl ether 3 is readily available from γ-bromoalkylidene malonate 2 via a Michael Induced Ring Closure (MIRC) reaction with sodium methoxide. Single Electron Transfer mechanism is suggested for the key cyclization step to account for the observed high reactivity of a tertiary halide, phosphonium salt and nitro compound.
