The cyclopropyl effect controlled the regioselectivity of the cross coupling reactions of propargylic/allenylic metallic species with electrophiles affording alkynic cycloproparies. It was proposed that the strain in cyclopropyl ring, which makes the formation of vinylidenecyclopropanes unfavorable, determined the regioselectivity. Control experiment of i-propyl, cyclobutyl, and cyclohexylphenylacetylenes were conducted to support the above speculation. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
