Abstract

Phenyl (trihalomethy2) mercury compounds react with olefins to give gem- dihalocyclopropanes in high yield. This new procedure does not involve trihalomethide ion as an intermediate, nor does it require basic reaction conditions. Thus the mercurial route allows the preparation of gem-dihalocyclopropanes from olefins which contain base- sensitive functional groups, which react with trihalomethide ion, or which are only poor ...
