Explanation:

The iodomethyl zinc iodide is usually prepared using Zn activated with Cu. The iodomethyl zinc iodide reacts with an alkene to give a cyclopropane. The reaction is stereospecific with respect to to the alkene (mechanism is concerted).

Cyclopropane is the cycloalkane molecule with the molecular formula C3H6, consisting of three carbon atoms linked to each other to form a ring, with each carbon atom bearing two hydrogen atoms resulting in D3h molecular symmetry. The small size of the ring creates substantial ring strain in the structure.

Cyclopropane is an anaesthetic when inhaled. In modern anaesthetic practice, it has been superseded by other agents. Due to its extreme reactivity, cyclopropane-oxygen mixtures may explode.
