Abstract
AbstractBase‐induced elimination of dichlorocarbene adducts 2 to 9‐alkoxyphen threnes 1 leads to furans 6, presumably via cyclopropenes 3 which undergo rearrangement to vinylcarbenes 4 and CH insertion. By the same sequence, the 9‐substituted alkylphenanthrene adduct 10 and 14 afford cyclopentadienes 11 and 15. Carbene adducts of simple enol ethers, however, react differently and give preferentially 2‐chloroalken‐2‐ones.
