Sterespecific reduction and methylation of two 1-iodo-trans-cycloalkenes
Abstract
Two 1-iodo-trans-cycloalkenes, obtained by ring expansion of suitable gem-di-iodocyclopropanes with silver perchlorate in methanol, can be converted into the trans-cyclo-alkene, 1-deuterio-trans-cyclo-alkene, and the 1-methyl-trans-cycloakene.
