β¦ Synopsis
In light of the recent flurry of activity in the area of methylenecyclopropene syntheses, 2-6 we are prompted to report our work on a potentially simple approach to this general problem. This method is one that has been applied successfully to the analogous heptafulvene7 system and involves simply proton abstraction from the appropriate carbonium ion.

The transition structure (TS) for the reaction of formate anion with the hydride acceptor cyclopropenyl cation (CP' ) has been calculated with analytical gradients at an ab initio MO SCF level. The saddle point characterizing the reaction in vacuum was calculated with two basis sets: an extended (9s
The kinetics of chlorine atom abstraction from the chloromethanes (CM)CC14, CHCl3, and CHBCl2 by radiolytically generated cyclohexyl radicals has been studied in the liquid phase by a competitive method. The halogen abstraction data have been put on an absolute basis by comparing the rates of the me
