Abstract

Abstract 1H-Cyclopropa [b] naphthalene 3c and the 2, 7-diphenyl-substituted derivative 3a have been synthesized via cycloaddition of the appropriate isobenzofurans 1a and 1b to 1- bromo-2-chlorocyclopropene and aromatization of the adducts with low-valent Ti. The same procedure afforded the 2, 7-dimethyl-H-cyelopropa [g] isoquinoline (15), but failed for the parent azacompound. Reaction of adducts of furans to 1-bromo-2-chlorocyclopropenes ...
