Conclusions
-
1.
The reaction of 3,3-dialkyl(cycloalkyl)cyclopropenes with unsaturated hydrocarbons in the presence of CuCl or (PhO)3P·CuCl leads to the cyclopropanation of the hydrocarbon double bond by vinylcarbenes which arise as a result of a cyclopropene-carbene isomerization. In addition to vinylcyclopropanes, the products of the recombination of the vinylcarbenes, namely, the corresponding trienes, are formed.
-
2.
The cyclopropanation of cyclic dienes by vinylcarbenes obtained from cyclopropenes in the presence of CuCl or (PhO)3P·CuCl proceeds with higher yields than in the case of normal alkenes.
