(Chloromethyl)cyclopropane was used in the synthesis of (lithiomethyl)cyclopropane and homoallyllithium via 4,4?-di-tert-butylbiphenyl or naphthalene-catalysed lithiation reaction. On reaction with isolable dialkylsilylene affords 5-silaspiro[4.4]nonane derivative.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
