Abstract

Alkyl-and arylcyclopropanes were prepared from the corresponding@-alkyl or@-arylallyl chlorides. The use of the a-or the y-substituted isomers (or an equilibrium mixture of the two) would have led to the formation of a mixture of substituted cyclopropane and isomeric olefin. This situation imposed a limitation upon the usefulness of the
