The title compounds, most of which were obtained by dihalocarbene addition to the corresponding alkenes, are generally reduced to dihalides in good yields. 1,1-Dichloro-2-chloromethyl-2-methylcyclopropane and all the tribromides investigated are attacked regioselectively at the gem-dihalo moiety, yielding isomeric mixtures of 1-halo-2-haloalkylcyclopropanes.Trihalides containing both bromo and chloro substituents are always attacked at the C-Br bond; as a consequence substituted 2-bromomethyl-1,1-dichlorocyclopropanes undergo ring opening and form 4,4-dichloro-1-butene derivatives.
