Abstract

Abstract:(+)-(3R, SR)-3-Ethy1-5-methyl-l-pyrazoline (19) and (+)-(3R, 5S)-3-ethyl-5-methyl-I- pyrazoline (1%) have been prepared in optically active form and their absolute stereochemistries determined by chemical correlation with (-)-(3R)-3-hexanol and (-)-(2R)-2- bromohexane. Pyrolysis at 292" C in the gas phase (atmospheric pressure, He) gave optically active cis-and trans-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclopropanes (16c and 16t), whose ...
