This document discusses the development of a tandem reaction involving carbanion-induced ring-opening of a three-membered ring followed by a [3+2] annulation. Specifically, it involves the [3+2] annulation of tosylmethylcyclopropane mediated by carbanions, where intermediates of the reaction were isolated. The document references several other papers on related topics like donor-acceptor cyclopropanes, Lewis acid-catalyzed cyclopropane/aldehyde cycloadditions, and oxyanion-induced ring opening of cyclopropanes.
