Abstract

Abstract In the Simmons-Smith reaction, 1,3-dienes are preferentially cyclopropanated at the more electron-rich double bond to afford the trans-vinylcyclopropane; an allylic hydroxyl group increases the reactivity and directs the cyclopropanation to the adjacent double bond. +Part of the results was presented at the XVIth International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry, Brighton, July 1994, abstract P228.
