title = "Catalyst-free photocyclopropanation of dibromomalonates with alkenes: An approach to multisubstituted cyclopropanes",
abstract = "We report herein a novel photocyclopropanation of dibromomalonates with alkenes in the presence of H{\"u}nig base. This protocol provides an environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of multisubstituted cyclopropanes, since no catalyst is required. The Photo-induced Electron Transfer (PET) from H{\"u}nig base to dibromomalonate is the key process during this transformation.",
