A convenient preparative method was developed for the cycloalkylation of active methylene compounds, including β-diketones, by the dibromides BrCH2(CH2)nCH2Br (n = 0,1,2) in the presence of an excess of potassium carbonate in DMSO.The reaction gives high yields for the dibromides with n = 0 and 2, whereas the formation of cyclobutanes (n=1) is complicated by O,C-alkylation.The 1-substituted 1-acylcyclopropanes undergo thermal isomerization to the corresponding dihydrofuranes.
