Abstract

The notable nucleophilic reactivity of oxy-substituted cyclopropanes 1 toward electrophiles, which results in ring opening,l may be contrasted with that of the parent cy- clopropanes with alkyl substituents which show relatively low reactivity toward electrofiles.* During the course of our studies on the reactions of 1 with metal salts,3 we have observed that the cyclopropane ring opening by metal salts is markedly affected by the substitution of a silyl group as R in 1 for the usual alkyl ( ...
