Abstract
Methylenecyclopropylcarbinols treated with multifluorosulfonyl fluorides and triethylamine form the 3-methylenecyclobutyl fluorides and 3-methylenecyclobutyl (2-methylenecyclo-propyl)methyl ethers in good to high total yields. A proposed mechanism is based on the obtained results.
Key words
methylenecyclopropylcarbinols - multifluorosulfonyl fluorides - base - rearrangement - etherification
