Abstract
Geminal dibromocyclopropanes annelated to six-, seven- or eight-membered rings can be converted easily to their geminal endo-lithio-exo-bromo derivatives when treated with butyllithium at -95°. Upon reaction of these derivatives with iodine at -95° the corresponding geminal endo-iodo-exo-bromocyclopropanes are obtained in good yields. The structure assignments are made by means of some silver ion-assisted ring expansions.
