Abstract

The carbenoid decompositions of phenyl-, p-tolyl-, and p-anisyldiazomethane catalyzed by lithium salts and The yields, stereochemistry, and relative rates of cyclopropane formation with I n all cases the thermodynamically less stable The isomer ratios were found to be influenced by both cation and anion Rates of the zinc halide catalyzed decomposi-The lifetimes of the organozinc inter-The preparative aspects of the zinc salt catalyzed ...
