Indium-catalyzed addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to 1-iodo-1-alkynes produces exclusively E-iodoalkenes. The iodine atom serves both as an activating group and as a group that controls the regioselectivity of the addition. The E-alkenyl iodide product can be further derivatized into trisubstituted olefins in high overall yield with retention of the stereochemistry.

An organocatalytic asymmetric cascade Michael reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with bromomalonates, efficiently catalyzed by chiral diphenylprolinol TMS ether in the presence of base 2,6-lutidine, gives cyclopropanes in high enantio- and diastereoselectivities. Using NaOAc as base, a spontaneous ring-opening of cyclopropanes leads to (E) α-substituted malonate α,β-unsaturated aldehydes.
