Abstract
1‐Chlorocyclopropyl methyl ether and the corresponding sulfide are methanolysed without any rupture of the three‐membered ring. The solvolysis of 1‐halocyclopropyl sulfides has been studied kinetically and takes place via an S~N~1 mechanism. Methyl substituents in the cyclopropyl ring promote ring opening. This, and the effect of variation of the leaving group (Cl, Br, SMe~2~^⊕^), can be rationalised in terms of relative stabilities of intermediary substituted cyclopropyl and alkyl cations.

## Abstract 1‐(Alkylthio)cyclopropyl azides ‐ readily accessible from the corresponding chlorides and bromides ‐ are smoothly decomposed at 70°C with nitrogen evolution. The main process is a ring enlargement to 2‐(alkylthio)azetines **2**, accompanied by cleavage to thiocyanate and alkene. Reactio
## Abstract The reaction of 1‐halocyclopropyl sulfides with sodium alkanethiolates in protic or aprotic solvents leads to high yields of cyclopropyl sulfides, in which halogen has been replaced by hydrogen. The complementary oxidized product is, in most cases, the thioketone or thioaldehyde derived
