Abstract

The reaction of phenyl substituted cyclopropanes phenylcyclopropane and 1, 1- diphenylcyclopropane, phenyl substituted bicyclobutanes 1-phenylbicyclobutane, 1-methyl- 3-phenylbicyclobutane, 1-methyl-2, 2-diphenylbicyclobutane, as well as phenyl substituted spiropentanes phenylspiropentane and 1, 1-diphenylspiropentane with lithium metal or lithium di-t-butylbiphenyl (LiDBB) was investigated. Under suitable reaction conditions ...
