โฆ Synopsis
CrCl 2 converts trichloromethylcarbinols under mild conditions to (E)-a-haloalkylidene chromium carbenoids which add to aldehydes or are quenched with water affording 2-haloalk-2(Z)-en-1-ols and 1-chloro-1(Z)-alkenes, respectively, in high yield.

Mild, room temperature CrCl 2 reduction of 1,1,1-trichloroalkanes stereoselectively generates (Z)-1-chloro-2-substituted-1-alkenes in excellent yields.
Cr(II)-induced condensation of CCl 4 or CBr 4 with an aldehyde stereospecifically generates an (E)-a-haloalkylidene chromium carbenoid which adds in situ to a second equivalent of aldehyde furnishing 2-haloalk-2(Z)-en-1-ols in high yield.
