Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00361a034

The tert-butyl peroxymercuriations of cyclopropane and ethyl-, phenyl-, 1,1-dimethyl, 1-methyl-1-phenyl-, and 1,1-diphenylcyclopropane (1a-f) have been carried out by using mercury(II) acetate, a onefold excess of tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and 20 mol perc
