The reaction of phenylcyclopropane with iodine and various mercury(II) salts affords regiospecifically 1,3-bifunctionalized phenylpropanes following the Markownikoff rule; in the case of cyclopropyl phenyl ketone, the reaction with mercury(II) chloride-iodine leads to (3-chloro-1-iodopropyl) phenyl ketone.
