Abstract

Alcoxyperhalogenocyclopropanes I are easily prepared by dichlorocarbene addition to the halogenated enol ether derived from chlorotrifluoroethylene, under PTC conditions. Thermal opening of the cyclopropane ring leads to the formation of 3,3-dichloro -2-fluoroacrylic ester II by chlorine atom departure from the CFCl group in preference to the one from the CCl 2 group. This selectivity could be due to the slowing down of the substitution by the other geminal chlorine atom in the latter case. ▪
