Permethylpentalene chemistry

Abstract:

A rational solution-phase synthesis of a permethylpentalene (Pn*) ligand precursor for use in organometallic chemistry has been devised through the novel peripheral alkylation of the bicyclo[3.3.0]octane ring system. Tetramethylation of tetramethyl 3,7-dihydroxybicyclo[3.3.0]octa-2,6-diene-2,4,6, 8-tetracarboxylate (1) forms sterically encumbered 2 which exhibits fluxionality. Decarboxylation to 3 followed by facile double dehydrogenation using Br2 affords 4. Nucleophilic addition of the fina...
