- Process for producing hinokitiol
-
A process for producing hinokitiol which comprises the step of obtaining 1-isopropylcyclopentadiene from cyclopentadiene and an isopropylating agent represented by the general formula R—X wherein R is an isopropyl group and X is a halogen or the like (first step), reacting it with a dihaloketene to obtain a ketene adduct (second step), and decomposing the ketene adduct (third step), said first step comprising the following three steps: a) a preparation step of cyclopentadienyl metal; b) a step of obtaining isopropylcyclopentadiene by isopropylating the cyclopentadienyl metal in an aprotic polar solvent; and c) a step of isomerizing 5-isopropylcyclopentadiene in the product selectively to 1-isopropylcyclopentadiene with heat.

- Process for the preparation of cyclopentadienyl metal salt and process for the preparation of derivative of cyclopentadiene using the same
-
A cyclopentadienyl metal salt is prepared by reacting a cyclopentadiene and a metal hydride in the presence of an amine compound. Furthermore, a derivative of a cyclopentadiene in which a phenyl group is bonded to its cyclopentadienyl moiety through an element of the 14 group of the Periodic Table is prepared using such a reaction.

- Substituted cyclopentane compounds for use as chelating agents
-
The invention provides as new compounds cis-xis-cis-tetrasubstituted cyclopentane compounds which are expected to be useful as chelating agents for alkaline earths, transition, lanthanide, and actinide metal ions. The compounds have Formula (I). Each of the groups X1, X2, X3, and X4 comprises at least one potential ligand donor group, or one of the groups X or Z may comprise a group which may permit attachment to a biological active molecule or insoluble support.
