endo-Dicyclopentadiene has been selectively metallated with the base complex BuLi*t-BuOK in hexane at the olefinic positions in the norbornene moiety and a number of derivatives prepared by reaction of the metallated intermediate with electrophilic reagents.In particular, bromodicyclopentadiene thus obtained is a useful stock precursor for lithiodicyclopentadiene.
