Abstract
Reduction of 2-substituted 1,3-diiodopropane derivatives with tin hydride p rovides substituted cyclopropanes. The reaction occurs through a homolytic substitution of the 3-iodopropyl radical, which has a rate constant of abou t 5 x 10(5) s(-1) at 80 degrees C. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
