Abstract
Diazomethane reacts with trisubstituted ethylenes of 5-nitrofurane series within the temperature range -60°C to +20°C with direct formation of cyclopropane derivatives IV without pyrazoline intermediates. This reaction does not proceed as a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition but goes via nonfinished stepwise mechanism discussed in the present paper. The cyclopropane derivative IVa has been prepared as a model substance via the new reaction from 5-nitrofurfuryltrichloromethyl sulphone (I) and paraformaldehyde. The synthesized derivatives were identified by IR, UV, 1H-NMR and mass spectra.
