RING OPENING REACTION OF gem-DIFLUOROCYCLOPROPYL KETONES WITH NUCLEOPHILES
Syntheses of gem-difluorocyclopropyl ketones (3a-d) and their reactions with nucleophiles are described.Ring opening reactions of 3a, c and d with a methanolate and a thiolate anion took entirely different courses of bond scission of the cyclopropane ring.
