The reaction of diiodomethane and triethylaluminum with substituted 1-alkenylaluminums obtained by the Zr-catalyzed carbo- or cycloalumination of mono- or dialkyl-substituted alkynes resulted in the selective formation of di- and tetrasubstituted cyclopropanes. 1-Alkenylaluminums prepared from substituted propargylamines reacted with diiodomethane and triethylaluminum to give substituted allylamines. A plausible mechanism for the reaction of the 1-alkenylaluminums with diiodomethane/triethylaluminum is proposed.
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.
