9. It has been demonstrated elsewhere (3a, 3d, 4) and observed in our lab that the Kulinkovich hydroxycyclopropanation yields exclusively cyclopropanol isomer 1, bearing phenyl cis to methyl and does not give any of isomer 2, where phenyl is trans to methyl. The origin of this stereochemical preference has been addressed computationally. Y.-D. Wu and Z.-X. Yu. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 123, 5777 (2001).
