Abstract

12 13 14 reversibility of cyclopropene ring opening. We have found further suggestive evidence for this process in a pyrolytic kinetic study of a series of l-alkyl-3, 3- dimethylcyclopropenes.~ 61 In this case, the probable isomeric cyclopropenes were formed in only 2-3% yields and were unstable under pyrolytic conditions. To provide more concrete evidence for the reversibility of the initial ring-opening step, we looked for a derivative of l- ...
