When heated in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride or chloride, 1‐chloro‐1‐fluoro‐2‐(trimethylsilyl)methyl‐cyclopropanes ( 1 , 2 and 3 ) undergo smooth ring‐opening fragmentation to afford 2‐fluoro‐butadienes (( 4 , 5 and 6 resp.) with high yields. Despite unfavorable geometries, the reaction is concerted and the inversion mode of rotation dominates over the retention mode by a factor roughly 100.
