1-Chloro-1-ethenylcyclopropanes 2, readily prepared with a wide range of substituents on the three-membered ring as well as on the terminal vinylic position, react with dialkyl sodiomalonates under palladium(0) catalysis at or above room temperature to give correspondingly substituted (cyclopropylidenethyl)malonates 3 in good to high yields. A trimethylsilyl substituent as in 2e, especially with a Z-orientation, both enhances the reactivity of the substrate and controls the configuration in the product 3 to be predominantly E.
