Abstract

The low temperature photochemical decomposition of 3- chloro-croton aldehyde
tosylhydrazone sodium salt in tetrahydrofuran results in the formation of 3- chloro- 3-
methyl cyclopropene and 5- chloro- 5- methyl- pyrazolenine respectively. In the
presence of moisture, the photohydrated compound 3 was obtained as one of the
products
