Tg. Mannafov et al., Reactions of dichlorocarbene and arenesulfenyl chlorides with 3,4-epoxy-1-butene and vinylethylene carbonate, RUSS J ORG, 37(3), 2001, pp. 339-344
Reaction of 3,4-epoxy-1-butene with dichlorocarbene is accompanied by deoxy
genation and yields a mixture of 1,1-dichloro-2-vinylcyclopropane, 2,2,2 '
,2 ' -tetrachlorobicyclopropyl, and 2,2-dichlorocyclopropyloxirane. Arenesu
ffenyl chlorides react with 3,4-epoxy-1-butene to afford both Markownikoff
and anti-Markownikoff addition products, whereas vinylethylene carbonate gi
ves rise exclusively to the anti-Markownikoff adducts.
