Syntheses of cyclopropanes and dihydrofurans from α-chlorovinyl sulphones
Abstract
Reactions of α-chlorovinyl sulphones (1a and b) with the monosodium salt of diethyl malonate gave cyclopropanes (2a and b) in good yield. In contrast, 4,5-dihydrofuran-3-carboxylates (3a and b) were obtained in the reaction of compounds (1a and b) with the monosodium salt of ethyl acetoacetate. The formation mechanisms of these compounds are discussed.
