“…The reaction of 6-chloro-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorocyclohexa-2,4dienone (1) 9 with phenyldiazomethane in acetonitrile (addition of the solution of diazoalkane to the solution of 1) also gave a mixture of the isomeric 6-chloro-3a,4,5,6,7a-pentafluoro-3,3Јdiphenyl-3,3a,6,7a-tetrahydrospiro[indazole-7,2Ј-oxirane] (3a and 3b, 67 : 33) but in low yield (5%). The main products of this reaction are the isomeric 3-chloro-1,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-7- phenylbicyclo[4.1.0]hept-4-en-2-ones (4a and 4b, 62 : 38) (Scheme 3).…”
