Anodic Oxidation of 1-Aryl-2,2-dihalogenocyclopropanes in Methanol or Acetonitrile Media

Abstract

3-Aryl-1,1-dichloro-3-methoxypropenes, methyl 3-aryl-3-methoxypropionates and 3-acetamido-3-aryl-1,1-dichloropropenes are obtained along with N-acetyl-4-aryllactams via anodic oxidation of 1-aryl-2,2-dichlorocyclopropanes in methanol and acetonitrile solutions, respectively.
