Synthesis and reactions of 1,1,2,2-tetra-acylcyclopropanes
Abstract
The title compounds (1, 3) were prepared by photochemical isomerisation of 2,3-dihydrofurans (2, 4) and reacted with pyridines or pyrazine to give zwitterionic products (5) which are thought to be intramolecular charge-transfer complexes.
