Résumé
The dibromocarbene or bromofluorocarbene addition to substituted allyldisilanes afforded instable gem-dibromocyclopropanes or a gem-bromofluorocyclopropane, respectively. These gem-bromohalogenocyclopropanes undergo a spontaneous ring opening at room temperature to give halogenated dienylsilanes or bromo dienes or dibromotetraenes. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
