Abstract
A highly regioselective reductive ring opening of vinylcyclopropanes i nduced by palladium on activated carbon has been investigated. High yi elds and excellent regioselectivities were observed in cleaving either the less hindered bond or the more hindered bond of the cyclopropane depending on whether the substituent on the vinylcyclopropane is capab le of coordinating to Pd or not.
