Abstract

An extended study2 of the direct observation of a series of cyclopropyl carbonium ions including mono-and dicycloproDyl ions was carried out. The orientation of the cyclopropyl ring next to a positive carbon atom is elucidated. A series of protonated cyclopropyl ketones were also investigated. These serve as models to compare with the cyclopropyl carbonium ions.
