( E / Z )‐2‐(1‐Allyloxycyclopropyl)‐3‐methoxyacrylonitrile ( 4 ‐All) was designed and prepared in five steps (58% overall yield) from ethyl cyclopropylidenacetate as a valuable precursor to various 1‐heteroarylcyclopropanols. Its condensation with amidines, guanidine, hydrazine, and methyl thioglycolate and subsequent removal of the allyl protecting group yields 1‐heteroarylcyclopropanols such as 1 ‐OH (36% over 2 steps), a very potent NO‐independent stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase. Direct cleavage of the allyl ether protecting group [by palladium‐catalyzed substitution with lithium p ‐toluenesulfinate in AcOH or treatment with c ‐HexMgBr/Ti(O i Pr) 4 ] gives highly functionalized, sterically congested 1‐heteroarylcyclopropanols 29 , 30 , and 34 with intact amino and ester groups.
