Abstract
Abstract: The title compounds (11 and 12, respectively) have been shown to suffer reductive cleavage at essentially the same rate on treatment with lithium or sodium in liquid ammonia at ca.-33 OC. Six cyclopropyl ring-opened products have been identified as products of this reaction. The regioselectivity [opening of bond a relative to bond b (ka/kb)] is 4 for 11 and 0.6 for 12 (in lithium-liquid ammonia). These opposite regioselectivites are explained in part ...
