The first examples of the mercury(II)-mediated ring opening of bicyclopropane and tercyclopropane arrays have been investigated. The presence of an adjacent cyclopropyl group dramatically increased the rate of the mercury-mediated opening of the first cyclopropane in a cyclopropane array. In contrast to the mercury-mediated ring opening of monocyclopropanes which usually undergo a concerted ring-opening mechanism, electrophilic openings of cyclopropane arrays occurred through a stabilized, free carbocation. Excellent regio-and stereoselectivities were observed in the mercurymediated intramolecular openings of the second cyclopropanes in the cyclopropane arrays, giving rise to the formation of enantiomerically pure, highly substituted tetrahydrofurans.
