Organic chemistry on surfaces : direct cyclopropanation by dihalocarbene addition to vinyl terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs)

C11-Vinyl-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on silica surfaces are successfully modified in C–C bond forming reactions with dihalocarbenes to generate SAMs, terminated with dihalo- (fluoro, chloro, bromo) cyclopropane motifs with about 30% surface coverage.
