Mode of cyclopropane ring opening of 1a,2,3,7b-tetrahydro-1-phenyl-1H-cyclopropa[a]naphthalene: a correction
Abstract
Catalytic hydrogenolysis of 1a,2,3,7b-tetrahydro-1-phenyl-1H-cyclopropa[a]naphthalene (I) and of the corresponding 1a,7b-dihydro-derivative provides 2-benzyltetralin (VI) and not 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-6-phenyl-5H-benzocycloheptene (II) as previously reported.
