Conclusions
-
1.
We have determined the stereoisomeric composition of the products of the reaction of fluorobromocarbene with mono- and 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes. Addition of fluorobromocarbene to arylethylenes with monosubstituted rings forms a slight excess of the anti-isomer, while addition to arylethylenes with 2,6-di-, 2,4,6-tri-, and pentasubstituted rings gives an excess of the syn-isomer.

2.
Introduction of a methyl group at theβ-position of styrene increases the proportion of the isomer containing bromine and methyl on the same side of the cyclopropane ring by a factor of 2.5.
