We have investigated the reductive dehalogenation reaction of alkyl and aryl substituted gemdihalocyclopropanes with diisobutyl aluminum hydride in the presence o/catalytic amounts of titanium and zirconium complexes. As a result we propose a general method for the synthesis o/substituted monohalocyclopropanes and cyclopropanes o/ various structures. We have also studied the stereochemistry o/the reduction. The best known methods for the synthesis of monohalocyclopropanes are based upon use of the reaction of [2+ 1]-cycloaddition of monohalocarbenes to olefins [1] or upon partial reduction of gem-dihalocyclopropanes prepared by the method of Makosh [2]. As reductants are used reagents such as n-BusSnH, LiAIH4, Zn/EtOH, Li/NH s, Na/MeOH, (EtO)2P(O)CH2Li, (MeOCH~CH20)~AINaH ~, H~, and also an electrochemical method [3]. These methods are characterized by low selectivity or require difficultly available organometallie reductants. Earlier we showed that, in the presence of catalytic amounts of Ti and Zr compounds, i-Bu~AIH selectively reduces alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and vinyl ~alides under mild conditions to the corresponding hydrocarbons with high yields [4]. In the present work we have studied the reduction catalyzed by Ti and Zr complexes of alkyl and aryl substituted gem-dihalocyclopropanones by i-Bu2AIH. In order to select the optimal conditions we have studied in detail ihe reduction of l,l-diehloro-2-hexyleyelopropane (IIIa). As a result we have found that (IIIa) on reduction with i~Bu2AIH [(Illa):Al = 1:2] in ethereal solvents (dioxane, diethylether, tetrahydrofuran, diamyl ether) at 75~ (3 h) in the presence of the catalyst (n-BuO)4Ti is converted in quantitative yield to a mixture of cis- and trans- l-chloro2TABLE 1.
