Abstract: Dark brominations of alkylcyclopropanes rarely produce 1, 3-dibromoaIkanes as major products. The reactions are sluggish, and the products are a mixture of isomeric mono- , di-, and tribromoalkanes; the latter is often the major product. This is the result of competitive bromination, hydrobromination, dehydrobromination, and extensive rearrangements. Conditions are described for isolating the bromination and ...
