Abstract

Similar reactions of CFzIz with internal olefins such as trans-4-octene and cyclohexene were also quite successful (eq 5-7). However, its attempted addition to 2, 3-dimethyl-2-butene resulted in the exclusive formation of iodoalkene 2, likely via diversion of the expected radical intermediate by H atom abstraction. Methods for the dehalogenative conversion of diiodides such as 3-7 to cyclopropanes are being pursued as are further studies of the ...
