Reaction of Cyclopropylcarbene-Metal Complexes with Nucleophiles, Halogens and HX. -Cyclopropyl(aryl-or alkylthio)carbene chromium complexes undergo a variety of ring opening reactions. The reactions with halogens, pseudohalogens, and HX provide 1,4-dihalo-1-thioether-1-butene derivatives with moderate to high degree of E/Z-selectivity (to be continued). -(REID, M. D.;
