Substitution of a carboalkoxy group on cyclopropane reduces the thermal geometric to structural isomerization rate ratio from 20-50 to 5-14, while cyano substitution gives a ratio of 33. Pyrolysis of methyl m-2-methylcyclopropanecarboxy-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
