• small amount of undesired 1,2-dichloroethylene carbonate (2’) was detected by GC (Table 1, entry 2). When 0.45 equiv of Cl2 was used, the conversion of 1 increased to 21% and the selectivity of 2 became 91% (Table 1, entry 3). The reaction of 1 with one equivalent of Cl2 gave 2 and 2’ in a ratio of 89

• original and connective anionic cascade sequence is reported. Base-catalysed condensation of β-hydroxyketones with 1,1-dichloroethylene generates, in moderate to good yields, the corresponding (Z)-chloro-exo-methylenetetrahydrofurans. Acidic treatment of this motif leads to several unexpected dimers

• -dichloroethylene is converted into the corresponding chloro-acetylene anion 9 [4][5]. This nucleophilic species adds rapidly, though reversibly, to acetone, leading ultimately to the formation of 5. However, in this case, competitive aldol reaction appears to take place, delivering the adduct 8. The subsequent
