Tricyclo2,4>non-2(4)-ene: Synthesis and Trapping of a Strained Cyclopropene
Chenier, Philip J.,Southard, Dale A.
, p. 4333 - 4337 (1990)
The title compound 8 has been synthesized in situ from dibromide 18 via debromination with tert.-butyllithium in THF at -78 deg C.In the presence of diphenylisobenzofuran (27), the Diels-Alder adduct 29 is formed.Cyclopropene 8 was also trapped with diene 28 to give a second adduct 30.The synthetic methodology for precursor dibromide 18 appears to have general application for other similar highly strained tricyclic cyclopropenes.
Synthesis of a Highly Strained Cyclopropene: Tricyclo2,4>non-2(4)-ene

, p. 3519 - 3520 (2007/10/02)
Tricyclo2,4>non-2(4)-ene has been synthesized.This is one of the most highly strained cyclopropenes yet reported.It can be made by treatment of a vicinal dibromocyclopropane with tert-butyllithium in THF at -78 deg C.It was identified b
