Methods for the conversion of 1,1-diacylcyclopropanes into gem-disubstituted dienes and acetylenes of the cyclopropene series were investigated: (a) reduction followed by dehydration of the diols; (b) conversion of the diketones into bistosylhydrazones and treatment of the latter with methyllithium; (c) dehydrohalogenation of gem-di(1-halogenoalkyl)cyclopropanes by the action of bases. Dehydration leads to intramolecular nucleophilic opening of the three-membered ring. 1,1-Divinylcyclopropanes and stereoisomeric 1,1-di(1-propenyl)cyclopropanes were obtained by two different methods, and the corresponding diynes and enynes were synthesized from them by bromination followed by dehydrobromination. 1,1-Di(1-propynyl)cyclopropane can be obtained by alkylation of 1,1-diethynyl-cyclopropane and also directly from 1,1-divinylcyclopropane without isolation of the intermediate 1,1-diethynylcyclopropane.
