ChemInform Abstract
Regioselective cyclopropyl ring cleavage of the title sulfide (I) leads to the mercury homoallyl anion synthon (II) which can be functionalized either at the α-position to afford the iodide (IV) or at the δ-position to obtain (I) or (VI). Furthermore, oxidation and following Pummerer reaction produces the δ- oxygenated cyclopropyl sulfides (IX) and (X).
