The reaction of a series of ..cap alpha..-bromocylopropyl ketones substituted in the three-membered ring with triphenylphosphine in alcohols in the presence of catalytic amounts of hydrochloric acid leads to the formation of the products from opening of the cyclopropane ring. Under analogous conditions 1-benzoyl-1-bromocyclopropane undergoes reductive dehalogenation. In boiling methanol 7-exo-benzoylbicyclo(4.1.0)heptane is converted into trans-1-bromo-2-benzoyl-methylcyclohexane by the action of a mixture of triphenylphosphine and 1-benzoyl-1-bromocyclopropane and also by a mixture of triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrabromide. The PMR spectra of solutions of the substances in carbon tetrachloride were obtained on a Tesla BS-467A instrument at 60 MHz and in deuterochloroform on a Bruker-360 instrument at 360 MHz with HMDS as internal standard. The IR spectra of solutions of the substances in carbon tetrachloride were recorded on a Specord IR-75 spectrophotometer.
