Abstract

The previously observed cyclopropaoation of alkenes by irradiation of diiodomethane (I) in their presence has been studied in more detail and found to be a synthetically useful procedure which is significantly less subject to steric effects than the traditional Simmons- Smith method. The results from photocyclopropanation of a variety of alkenes are summarized in Tables 1 and 3–4. In a number of cases the photochemical procedure ...
