Alkali metal and other iodides are effective catalysts in reactions involving aUphatic chloro and bromo compounds, such as the preparation of cyclopropane from 1,3-dichloropropane andmetaUic 2inc (141). 

The addition of nucleophiles to cyclic fluoroolefins has been reviewed by Park et al. [2 ]. The reaction with alcohols proceeds by addition-elimination to yield the cyclic vinylic ether, as illustrated by tlie reaction of l,2-dichloro-3,3-di-fluorocyclopropene Further reaction results in cyclopropane ring opening at the bond opposite the difluoromethylene carbon to give preferentially the methyl and ortho esters of (Z)-3-chloro-2-fluoroacrylic acid and a small amount of dimethyl malonate [29] (equation 8). 

Interest in this reaction was revived when the relevance of a carbene mechanism was realized, particularly following the demonstration (cf. SectionI,B) of a similar ring expansion of indene to 2-chloro-naphthalene by dichlorocarbene via the cyclopropane adduct. Indeed, at this time Nakazaki suggested that these reactions occurred by the addition of dichlorocarbene to the indolyl anion and subsequent rearrangement to the indolenine and, with loss of chloride ion, to the quinoline [Eq. (12)]. The preference of dichlorocarbene for... 

The present method gives better yields and is a simpler procedure than those described previously The ease of preparation of a-chloro ethers enables one to effectively remove a protecting methyl group from a phenol2 a-Chloroanisole is used to produce phenoxycarbene, a reactive intermediate in cyclopropane synthesis8... 

Cyclopropyl-l,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones 4 are converted into 3-chloro derivatives 5 by the action of, V-chlorosuccinimide in contrast, A-bromosuccinimide provides 4-(l -bromoallyl)bcnzo-diazepinones 6 with opening of the cyclopropane ring.269... 

The coupling reaction of the cyelopropylcuprates 87 with the 4-chloro-cyclobutenones 75 or their ethylene acetals 86 is useful for preparing the 4-cyclopropyl-2-cyclobutenones 88. The ring fission of 88 to the cyclohep-tadienones 89 is performed by a Rh(I)-catalyst. The less substituted cyclopropane ring bond is cleaved selectively. Cyclooctadienones are obtained by using 4-cyclobutyl-2-cyclobutenones [43]. (Scheme 31)...

Placing anion stabilizing groups on the cyclopropane greatly facilitates generation of cyclopropyl nucleophiles. The diphenylsulfonium ylide has proven to be an exceptionally versatile conjunctive reagent25). The sulfonium salt 9, available from either 3-chloro-l-iodopropane (Eq. 24a) or 3-chloro-l-propanol (Eq. 24b), is a nicely crystalline stable salt that can be stored indefinitely26,Z7). While substituted... 

A. 1,1-Dibromo-2,2-bis(chloromethyl)cyclopropane (1). Into a 1-L, threenecked, round-bottomed flask, equipped with an efficient mechanical stirrer, a thermometer, and a condenser equipped with a potassium hydroxide drying tube, are placed 54.1 g (0.403 mol) of 3-chloro-2-(chloromethyl)propene (Note 1), 212 g (0.805 mol) of bromoform (Note 2), 1.70-2.00 g (14.4-16.9 mmol) of pinacol (Note 3), and 1.45 g (3.94 mmol) of dibenzo-18-crown-6 (Note 4). With very vigorous stirring (Note 5), 312 g of an aqueous 50% sodium hydroxide solution that has been cooled to 15°C is added in one portion. The reaction mixture turns orange, then brown, then black within 5 min, and the temperature of the reaction mixture begins to rise. Within 20 min, the internal reaction temperature is 49-50°C at which point the reaction flask is cooled with a room-temperature water bath, and the reaction temperature decreases to ca.

Method A (liquid liquid conditions) The a,p-unsaturated ketone, ester, or nitrile (5 mmol) and the a-chloro ester (or nitrile) (5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (25 ml) are stirred with TBA-Br or TEBA-Cl (5 mmol) in aqueous NaOH (50%, 10 ml) for 1-2 h at room temperature. The organic phase is separated, washed well with H20, dried (Na2S04) and evaporated. The residue is triturated with Et20 (50 ml) and the filtered solution is evaporated to yield the cyclopropane. 

Method B (solid liquid conditions) The a,p-unsaturated ester (25 mmol) and the a-chloro ester (25 mmol) are added to K2CO, (6.9 g) and TEBA-Cl (0.3 g, 1.3 mmol) in DMF (10 ml) and the mixture is stirred at room temperature until the reaction is complete, as shown by TLC analysis (ca. 24 h). The mixture is then poured into H20 (50 ml) and extracted with Et20 (2 x 25 ml). The extracts are washed well with H20, dried (CaCl2), and evaporated to yield the cyclopropane (40-50%). 

The 3 + 2-cycloaddition of pyrroline A-oxide to 2-chloro-2-cyclopropylidene acetate and its spiropentane analogues (60) yields spiro [cyclopropane-1,5 -isoxazolidinejs (61) which undergo a novel cascade ring enlargement to yield indolizinones (62) in high yield (Scheme 21). ... 

A new selective thermal cascade ring-enlargement process of 4-chloro-substituted spiro[cyclopropane-l,5 -isoxazolidines], leading to a new method for the synthesis of the indolizine skeleton, has been reported (see Scheme 17). Apparently, the process is made possible by the presence of a chlorine substituent on the carbon a to the spirocyclopropane ring which facilitates a cyclopropyl-to-cyclobutyl ring enlargement mediated by a polar solvent. 

Bromo- and iodocyclopropanes cannot be prepared by the direct halogenation of cyclopropanes. Substituted chloro- and bromocyclopropanes have been synthesized by the photochemical decomposition of a-halodiazomethanes in the presence of olefins iodocyclopropanes have been prepared from the reaction of an olefin, iodoform and potassium f-butoxide followed by the reduction of diiodocyclopropane formed with tri-w-butyl tin hydride. The method described employs a readily available light source and common laboratory equipment, and is relatively safe to carry out. The method is adaptable for the preparation of bromo- and chlorocyclopropanes as well by using bromodiiodomethane or chlorodiiodomethane instead of iodoform. If the olefin used will give two isomeric halocyclopropanes, the isomers are usually separable by chromatography. ... 

The formation of cyclopropane by reduction of 1,3-dibromopropane was discovered in 1887. Dissolving metals, in particular zinc dust in ethanol, were employed as an electron source [88], Electrochemical reduction in dimethyl-formamide at a mercury cathode has been found to give good yields of cyclopropane [89, 90], 1,3-dibromo, 1,3-diiodo and l-chloro-3-iodopropane all give greater than 90 % yield of cyclopropane, the other product being propene. 

The asymmetric syntheses of carnosadine (lS,2S)-74 [101] and of its protected derivatives as conformationally constrained surrogates for arginine have also been reported [102]. Different 2-substituted 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acids have also been prepared by azidation of optically active 2-chloro-2-cyclo-propylideneacetates [103] and from the cyclopropanation of chiral bicyclic lactams [104].
