Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.20 g (0.00298 mol) of 2-(4-chlorophenylmethyl)-1,1,2-tribromocyclopropane in 6 ml of diethyl ether was placed under a nitrogen atmosphere via use of a Firestone valve. While cooling in an ice water bath, 6.38 ml (0.00893 mol) of 1.4M methyl lithium in diethyl ether was added slowly by syringe. After 15 minutes, 2 ml of water was added via syringe. The resulting mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and the phases were separated. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The solvent was removed from the filtrate in vacuo with a bath temperature under 20° C. to yield 0.430 g of 1-(4-chlorophenylmethyl)-cyclopropene as an oil.
