Observations on the generation of organozinc carbenoids from acetals and ketals

, p. 5285 - 5288 (1998)
The use of acetals and ketals as direct precursors for organozinc carbenoid chemistry is illustrated by their direct conversion to alkenes in a one pot operation. Aryl acetals can also be used as precursors for the cyclopropanation of cyclohexene.
A Practical Cyclopropanation Method using Direct Generation of Organozinc Carbenoids from Carbonyl Compounds
Motherwell, William B.,Roberts, Lee R.
, p. 1582 - 1583 (2007/10/02)
A variety of readily available aryl and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, on treatment with zinc and 1,2-bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane, afforded organozinc carbenoids which may be trapped with alkenes to give cyclopropanes.
