Abstract
The title carbenoids (7 and 8) prepared by the action of butyllithium on dihalocyclopropanes are smoothly methylated with methyl iodide. The product ratio of cis-methylated product (3)/trans-methylated one (4)(or endo-methylated product (5)/exo-methylated one (6) is found to depend on the aging period of the carbenoids; thermodynamic equilibration gives almost 3 or 5. This procedure has been extended to general alkylation by utilizing HMPA co- ...
