Abstract
Reaction of (5, X = H, Cl, Br) with methyl lithium in ether in the presence alkenes leads to cyclopropanes, e g.(6), apparently derived by trapping of an intermediate carbene (4); in the case of (5, X = Br), the precursor of the carbene, a cyclopropene (1, X=Y=Cl, Z=Me), may be trapped by addition of bromine at −90°C.
