Abstract

Abstract Phenyl (1, 1-dichloroethyl) mercury has been prepared via 1, 1-dichloroethyllithium and evaluated as a potential CH 3 CCl transfer agent. Although this mercurial reacted with triethylsilane to give Et 3 SiCHClCH 3 (35%) and with allyltrimethylsilane to give 1-chloro-1- methyl-2-(trimethylsilylmethyl) cyclopropane (31%), its principal mode of reaction involved elimination of hydrogen chloride. The products resulting from this elimination were ...
