Abstract

3,3-Dimethyl-cyclopropane-1,1,2-tricarboxylic acid derivatives of the formula ##STR1## in which R is alkyl, and PA1 R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each is alkoxycarbonyl or cyano, with the proviso that at least one of them is cyano, suitable for use as intermediates in making insecticides, are produced by reacting a .beta.,.beta.-dimethyl-acrylic acid nitrile of the formula ##STR2## with bromine or chlorine at a temperature between about -20.degree. and +50.degree. C. to produce a compound of the formula ##STR3## in which Hal is chlorine or bromine, which compound is further reacted with a malonic acid derivative of the formula ##STR4##
