Abstract

Halogen-substituted cyclopropane derivatives were an obscure class of compounds until the discovery by Doering and Hoff mad that addition of dihalocarbene to olefins produced yem- dihalocyclopropanes in good to excellent yields. Since then the chemistry of these compounds has been actively studied. g I n the present paper we want to report on reactions of gem-dihalocyclopropanes with aromatic compounds under Friedel-Crafts conditions, ...
