Abstract

Two different approaches toward the synthesis of a 3-acyl-substituted 1, 2, 3- triphenylcyclopropene were inveatigatd. The first involved beating triphenylcyclopropenyl perchlorate with the anion derived from 1, 3-dithiane followed by hydrolysis of the resulting dithioacetal. Unfortunately, all attempts to obtain a carbonyl compound from the hydrolysis failed. The only product obtained corresponded to a 1, 2-diphenyl-1, 2-diacyl-substituted ...
