A variety of substituted cyclopropanone acetals were prepared by the additi
on of an organozine reagent or a Grignard reagent to a substituted cyclopro
penone acetal. MnO2- or PbO2-mediated oxidative ring opening reaction of th
e substituted cyclopropanone acetals affords beta -alkoxyesters and protect
ed beta -aminoesters with high efficiency. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. A
