The intermediary occurrence of trimethylene radical anions (2) − . during electron transfer to cyclopropancs (1) probably ensues via two consecutive reactions: the stereoisomerization of, e.g. , trans , trans ‐ (1) to cis , trans ‐ (1) and cis , cis ‐ (1) (44 :55 :1) and the dimerization of (2) − after longer reaction time to a substituted hexane dianion.
