Abstract In the presence of KF·2H 2 O, furoylmethyltriphenylarsonium bromide ( 1a ) or thienoylmethyltriphenylarsonium bromide ( 1b ) reacted with 2‐[(un)substituted benzylidene]malononitrile ( 2 ) in chloroform at room temperature to give trans ‐3,3‐dicyano‐1‐furoyl‐2‐[(un)substituted phenyl]cyclopropane ( 3a ) or trans ‐3,3‐dicyano‐1‐thienoyl‐2‐[(un)substituted phenyl]cyclopropane ( 3b ) respectively in good yield with high stereoselectivity. The structures of product 3 were confirmed by IR, MS, 1 H NMR, 1 H‐ 1 H COSY and microanalysis. The relative configuration of product 3 was determined by 1 H‐ 1 H NOESY technique. The mechanism for the formation of product 3 was also proposed.
