Abstract

Reaction of gem-dibromocyclopropanes with ethylmagnesium bromide at ambient temperature leads to very high yields of allenes; when cyclopropylidene–allene ring opening is suppressed, alternative carbenic products are observed, although other reactions compete. When the reactions are carried out at− 60° C, a 1-bromo-1-(bromomagnesio)- cyclopropane is formed which may be trapped by a number of electrophiles.
