Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00027a020

1-Vinylcyclopropanes bearing ether or ester substituents at C(2) of the cyclopropyl ring or alkyl groups at other ring (or alkenyl) positions were subjected to PhS radical catalyzed olefination with ester- or oxygen-functionalized alkenes.In some instance
