Abstract

A convenient method was developed for the cyclopropanation of aryl acetates and aryl acetonitrile using vinyl diphenyl sulfonium triflate salt. The newly developed conditions are simple, mild, and compatible with a wide range of functional groups, without the need to apply an inert atmosphere, or alkali bases.
