Abstract

Abstract: Evidence is presented that 1-cyclopropyl-1-iodoethylene (13) undergoes both silver-catalyzed and uncatalyzed solvolysis cia the initial formation of the 1-cyclopropylvinyl cation (14). This ion appears to be stabilized by delocalization of charge from the ionization center into the cyclopropane ring. The products of ionization of 13 have been compared with those from 3, 4-pentadien-1-yl iodide (34); both distributions are very similar when the ...
