Abstract
Chloro(phenyl)carbene and diphenylcarbene reacted with cyclopropanone hemiacetals, cyclopropanols, and cyclopropanone cyanohydrins to give 4-phenylbutanoic acid derivatives. The mechanism was explained in terms of a homolytic process that the O-H group of cyclopropanols reacted as a formal H donor with carbenes.
