Aryl substituted cyclopropyl ketones are cleaved to acyclic ketones with zinc and zinc chloride or with zinc alone in refluxing alcohol. Cyclopropanes are important synthetic intermediates due to their exceptional reactivity when functionalised', the cyclopropane 'trick", and their ready accessibil
Some chiral acetals are cleaved by organoaluminum reagents. The products are formed diastereoselectively, and the removal of the chiral auxiliary affords optically active alcohols. A recent communication by Bartlett, Johnson and Elliott1 on the acetal derived from (-)-(2$4\_R)-2,4-pentanediol has pr
