Abstract

Treatment of bromocyclopropanes with excess dibutylcopperlithium in tetrahydrofuran at− 48° C gives the respective organocopper intermediates which upon quenching with excess alkyl halides afford alkylated cyclo-propanes with retention of the configuration. This process is applied to the synthesis of methyl cascarillate. Bromoarenes are also reduced with dibutylcopperlithium and allylarenes are prepared therefrom.
