Abstract

The 3-buten-1-ylcyclopropyl carbinyl radical system has been extensively studied, both experimentally and theoretically.'The 3-buten-1-yl radical is heavily favored in the equilibrium shown, and substituted 3-buten-1-yl radicals are known to undergo rapid equilibration via the cyclopropylmethyl radical intermediate 3 (eq 1).
