9. The formation of bicyclic cyclopropanols in very low yield by interaction at room temperature of (ethoxy)(γ,δ-alkenyl)carbene complexes of tungsten with N-methyldihydropyridine has been tentatively explained through an intramolecular cyclopropanation of the double bond by an in situ generated N-methylpyridinium oxycarbene complex: H.

32. The one-pot oxaspirocyclopropanation reaction was examined with carbene complex 1a and cyclohexene. After heating in THF at 120°C for 1 h, either two or four equivalents of Li-naphthalene were added at -78°C and the mixtures stirred for 15 min or 2 h, respectively. Final hydrolysis at -78°C for each experiment provided a mixture of 2-chloroethoxycyclopropane 4 a (major product) and oxaspyrocyclopropane 8a (always as a minor component).

50. We have observed that cyclopropanols 13-16 are unstable and upon standing even under nitrogen and when refrigerated (8-10°C), they slowly decompose to a mixture of carbonyl-containing products.
