3-hexadiene. The products of α-elimination, including 1-methyl-3-phenyl-1-cyclopentene, were also obtained in methanol and ethanol. Solvolysis of the E isomer (E)-1 is faster than that of (Z)-1 in every solvent examined. The percentage of rearrangement is higher with (E)-1 than with (Z)-1, and the main rearranged products are those of migration of the alkyl group trans to the iodonio group, but migration of
