β¦ Synopsis
Metal carbenoida are more appropriate reagent6 for the convereion of alkenee to cyclopropanee then the unselective free Cl%2 with ita tendency for CHineertion (1). Halomethyllithiur has not been ueed exteneively for thie purpose. Thie reagent, generated from dibromomethane and methyllithium in ether, convert6 cyclohexene to only 4% norcarane (2-4) and etyrene into 1.3% phenylcyclopropene. Chloromethyllithium in tetrahydrofuran is not capable of ~cyclopropanation" (6).
After reacting butyllithium with dibooromethaae and cyclbhexeae in a 1:2:2 ratio in hexane at O", the l nalyeie by vpc using a capillary column ehowed 13s norcarane (1) and 1s ethylene; homologous l lkyl broridee were the main product (7). The isolation of f by preparative vpc confirmed itm identity

## Abstract An investigation into the mechanism and stereochemistry of chiral lithiumβcarbenoidβpromoted cyclopropanation reactions by using density functional theory (DFT) methods is reported. Previous work suggested that this type of cyclopropanation reaction may proceed by competition between a
