The reaction of E-1-benzoyl-1-bromo-2-phenylcyclopropane with lithium thiophenolate in THF leads to the formation of E-1-benzoyl-2-phenyl-1-phenylthiocyclopropane. Phenyl ..cap alpha..-phenylthiocyclopropyl ketones are also produced with good yields by the action of sodium thiophenolate on 7-endo-benzoyl-7-exo-bromobicyclo(4.1.0)-heptane, E-1-benzoyl-1-bromo-2-butylcyclopropane, and 1-benzoyl-1-bromocyclopropane, whereas Z-1-benzoyl-1-bromo-2-phenylcyclopropane undergoes reductive dehalogenation under analogous conditions. The stereochemical data and also the data on the composition of the products from the reaction in the presence of methanol indicate that the phenyl ..cap alpha..-phenylthiocyclopropyl ketones are formed by a mechanism of latent nucleophilic substitution at the halogen atom in the initial ..cap alpha..-bromocyclopropyl phenyl ketones. The PMR spectra of solutions of the substances in carbon tetrachloride or benzene were obtained on a Tesla BS-467A spectrometer at 60 MHz with HMDS as internal standard. The IR spectra of solutions of the substances in carbon tetrachloride were recorded on a Specord IR-75 spectrometer. The reactions were carried out in an atmosphere of dry argon.
