Summary
In presence of nickel or palladium catalysts, nucleophiles can attack vinylcyclopropanes with concomitant ring cleavage. With palladium catalysts in presence of appropriate substituents the terminal carbon atom of the resulting open chain is able to add to two molecules of a conjugated diene giving rise to long-chain unsaturated compounds.
