Novel stereoselective cyclopropanation from aliphatic nitro compounds

We have developed a new cyclopropanation reaction from aliphatic nitro compounds on treatment with silver oide and iodine. Optically active cyclopropanes are recently prepared as well. A novel double carbon-carbon bond cleavage reaction was also observed.
