Chemistry:Skattebøl rearrangement
The Skattebøl rearrangement is an organic reaction for converting a geminal dihalo cyclopropane to an allene using an organolithium base.[1][2] This rearrangement reaction is named after its discoverer, Lars Skattebøl, Professor emeritus at the University of Oslo. It proceeds through a carbene reaction intermediate:
When the cyclopropane ring is fitted with a 2-vinyl group, a cyclopentadiene is formed through a so-called foiled carbene intermediate.[3][4] This process is more generally known as a vinylcyclopropane rearrangement.
The reaction is closely related to the earlier Doering-LaFlamme procedure (Doering–LaFlamme allene synthesis), in which a gem-dibromocyclopropane is treated with an alkali metal to form the same cyclopropylidene intermediate.[5]
