Publisher's Synopsis
This is an additional volume in the new series "Updates from the Chemistry of Functional Groups." It presents the chapter on "Cyclopropyl radicals, anion radicals and anions" from "The Chemistry of the Cyclopropyl Group" (Rappaport, 1987) in its original form, together with corrections and an appendix updating the material. Professors Boche and Walborsky also prepared three completely new chapters on reactive intermediates derived from cyclopropanes, namely, cations, carbenoids and cation radicals. The references in these chapters include most of the year 1989.
