%T Formation of cyclopropanes by homolytic substitution reactions of 3- iodopropyl radicals: Preparative and rate studies
%X Reduction of 2-substituted 1,3-diiodopropane derivatives with tin hydride provides substituted cyclopropanes. The reaction occurs through a homolytic substitution of the 3-iodopropyl radical, which has a rate constant of about 5 x 105 s-1 at 80?C.
