Treatment of allylic alcohols 1 with various magnesium reagents in the presence of alkyl dihalides affords the corresponding cyclopropyl alcohols 2. Reactions occur under mild conditions, and excellent diastereoselectivities have been achieved.

Cyclopropanation of allylic alcohols with Et 2 Zn and CH 2 I 2 in the presence of a catalytic amount of fluorous disulfonamide 3 afforded the corresponding cyclopropylmethanols in 69-96% yield with 49-83% ee. The fluorous ligand 3 was readily recovered from the reaction mixture by the fluorous solid
