Abstract
Cyclopentadiene reacts with five equivalents of 4-methylbenzylalcohol (1:5,6 mole ratio) and sodium yielding penta(4-methylbenzyl)cyclopenta-2,4-diene (1), which upon treatment with butyl lithium affords the lithium salt [(4-MeC 6 H 4 CH 2 ) 5 C 5 ]Li (2). The reactions of 2 with FeCl 2 and SnCl 2 result in the formation of deca(4-methylbenzyl)ferrocene (3) and deca(4-methylbenzyl)stannocene (4), respectively. The 1 H and 1 3 C NMR, IR and mass spectra of the new compounds as well as the single crystal X-ray structure analysis of 1 are reported and discussed.
