The rates of ring opening of some cycloalkane -annellated thienyllithium derivatives have been determined.The cyclopenta system appeared to be several thousand times more reactive than the cyclohepta and cycloocta systems.The rate difference is explained by a considerable ring strain in the five-membered case.
