ESTERS OF VINYLCYCLOPRPANE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND INTERMEDIATES

摘要

Novel syntheses of dihalovinylcyclopropanecarboxylates, including potent insecticides, are described. The processes begin with the reaction between an alkenol and an orthoester to produce a gamma -unsaturated carboxylate, followed by the catalyzed addition of a carbon tetrahalide to the double bond and dehydrohalogenation to produce a cyclopropane derivative.
