A method for producing a (2-formyl-1-alkenyl)cyclopropane compound
represented by the formula (1): ##STR00001## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2
are the same or different, and independently represent a hydrogen atom,
an optionally substituted alkyl group, an optionally substituted alkenyl
group, an optionally substituted alkynyl group, an optionally substituted
aryl group or an optionally substituted aralkyl group, which comprises
reacting a formylcyclopropane compound represented by the formula (3):
##STR00002## wherein R.sup.1 is the same as defined above, with an
aldehyde compound represented by the formula (4): ##STR00003## wherein
R.sup.2 is the same as defined above, in the presence of a base.
