Abstract
In presence of crown ether, 2‐alkoxy‐1,1‐dichlorocyclopropanes react with t‐BuOK/THF preferentially via ring opening to 2‐chloroalk‐2‐en‐1‐ones and alkynones or to chlorocyclopropenes. The latter may be intercepted with 1,3‐diphenylisobenzofuran, but in the absence of trapping agent, the rearrangement to vinylcarbenes does not occur.
