It was established by 1H, 13C, and 199Hg NMR spectroscopy that the stereochemistry of the addition of mercury salts to methyl Δ2-2,3-dimethyl- and Δ2-2-methylcyclopropenecarboxylates depends on the nature of the reagent.The reaction with mercuric azide takes place stereoselectively with the formation of the cis-adduct.In the analogous reaction with mercuric acetate a mixture of the cis and trans isomers is formed, and the ratio between them is determined by the structure of the substrate.
