title: Thermal isomerization of (3-butenyl)cyclopropane to norbornane.
abstract: [reaction: see text] (3-Butenyl)cyclopropane isomerizes thermally to norbornane and gives rise to many other products. Deuterium and carbon-13-labeled versions of (3-butenyl)cyclopropane have been prepared and isomerized, establishing that the formation of norbornane involves cleavage of the cyclopropyl C2-C3 bond.
