Abstract

Recently, Porter and Mitchell4 discovered that y-bromoalkyl tert-butyl peroxides can also undergo silver salt induced cyclization to afford 1, 2-dioxolanes (eq 3). We had demonstrated earlier that phenylcyclopropane can be converted into the correponding y- bromoalkyl tert-butyl peroxide by peroxymercuriation and bromodemercuriation
