RING-OPENING OF CYCLOPROPANECARBOXYLATES USING SAMARIUM(II) DIIODIDE (SMI2)-HMPA-THF SYSTEM

Cyclopropane ring of 2- and 2,3-substituted cyclopropanecarboxylates (1) was regioselectively cleaved using SmI2-HMPA-THF system in the presence of tert-BuOH to give 4- and 3,4-substituted butyrates (2) in moderate to good yields.
