Abstract

1, l-Diphenylcyclopropane. Into a 5-mL round-bottom flask were placed a magnetic stirring bar, reagent 1 or 2 (2.00 mmol), and 1, l-diphenylethylene (0.180 g, 1.00 mmol). The flask was fitted with a reflux condenser, atop of which was placed a stopcock, and a nitrogen atmosphere was established within the apparatus. Nitromethane (0.50 mL) 9 was added, and the mixture was heated at reflux (oil bath temperature 116" C) for up to 4 h while ...
