It was shown by the method of competing reactions that substituents in the methylenecyclopropane fragment in cyclopropyl-substituted methylenecyclopropanes have a steric effect rather than an electronic effect on the reactivity of the double bond toward dichlorocarbene. The addition of dichlorocarbene to them takes place stereospecifically with the formation of substituted dichlorospiropentanes having the syn arrangement of the cyclopropyl groups and the substituent. Two isomeric spirans with a syn-anti ratio of 5:1 are formed from 1,1-dicyclopropyl-3-trimethylstannylmethylenecyclopropane. The dichlorocarbene was generated by the action of 50% sodium hydroxide or powdered potassium hydroxide on chloroform in the presence of catalytic amounts of triethylbenzylammonium chloride.
