Thermal rearrangement of halogenocarbene adducts of cyclic olefins
Abstract
The thermal rearrangements of some 6-halogenobicyclo[3,1,0] hexane derivatives, and of 8,8-dibromobicyclo-[5,1,0]octane, are described. The effects of stereochemical and electronic factors and of ring-size on the rate of rearrangement are discussed.
