(Chemical Equation Presented) Cyclopropyl-substituted olefins are employed as mechanistic probes in the singlet oxygen-alkene ene reaction. In MeOH and aprotic solvents [CHCl3, (CH3)2CO, CH 3CN], only the allylic hydroperoxides bearing an intact cyclopropyl group are detected. The reaction mechanism is independent of solvent polarity. Our findings, to a certain experimental limit, exclude a biradical or dipolar intermediate.
