The activation of CBr4 and CCl4 by a bimetallic iron/copper couple in acetonitrile is a new, inexpensive, nontoxic and efficient procedure for gem-dibromo- and gem-dichloromethylenation of nucleophilic alkenes. This new route to gem-dihalocyclopropanes involves dihalocarbene species.
An efficient and general method for the chemoselective synthesis of unsymmetrical gem‐diborylalkanes is reported. This method is based on a late‐stage desymmetrization through nucleophilic “trifluorination”, providing chiral gem‐diborylalkanes bearing a trifluoroborate group. The reaction offers a highly modular and diastereoselective approach towards the synthesis of gem‐diborylcyclopropanes. The
to produce unisolable allylchromium species which add efficiently to aldehydes or ketones with high degree of stereo- and chemoselectivity. Particularly, high threo selectivity is observed in the reaction of aldehydes and 1-bromo-2-butene and is ascribed to a chair-like six-membered transition state. Simple reduction of allylic and benzylic halides produces biallyls and bibenzyls, while gem-dibromocyclopropanes
