Abstract
The reaction of aryl cyclopropyl ketones 1 with excess bromine gave l-acyl-l,l,3-tribromopropanes 2, which were cyclized to 2-aryl-3,3-dibromo-2-methoxytetrahydrofurans 3 on treatment with alkaline in aqueous methanol. 2-Aryl-3,3-dibromo-2-cyanotetrahydrofurans 5 were obtained by the reactions of 2 with sodium cyanide.
