The reactions of (nitrophenyl)- and (acetylphenyl)cyclopropanes with mercuric nitrate and acetate in methanol, acetic acid, and formic acid were studied. The arylcyclopropanes are mercurated by mercuric acetate in formic acid or by mercuric nitrate in all the employed solvents without a catalyst (perchloric acid). A relatively high rate of conjugate mercuration of arylcyclopropanes in formic acid was observed.
