Abstract
The reaction of 2-methylcyclopropylcarbinyltrimethylstannane 1 in chloroform with the electrophiles sulphur dioxide, trifluoroacetic acid, and iodine proceeds preferentially with ring cleavage and addition at the unsubstituted cyclopropyl methylene. Iodination and acidolysis in methanol proceeds exclusively with tin-methyl bond cleavage.
