3-(Halogenovinyl- or propenyl-)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid esters, which are precursors of, or may themselves be, pyrethroid insecticides, are prepared by the reaction of certain halogenopentadienes with an alkyl diazoacetate in the presence of a catalyst which is a transition metal complex of certain chiral Schiff bases, which catalysts tend to increase the yield of preferred cis IR isomer relative to the other possible isomers. |
