Dichlorocarbene adds to spirohept-4,6-diene with the formation of 6,6-dichlorospiro(bicyclohex-2-ene-4,1'-cyclopropane).When heated the latter undergoes isomerization to 3-(2-chloroethyl)chlorobenzene, and in the presence of nucleophiles (alcohols, amines) it is converted into 3-(2-alkoxyethyl)chlorobenzenes and N-substituted 3-(2-aminoethyl)chlorobenzenes respectively.
