Abstract
The kinetically stabilized 1.3-di-t-butyl-5-vinylidenecyclopentadiene (1) dimerizes in a thermal solid state reaction to the tetraquinane de rivative 6. A reaction mechanism for this topochemically controlled re action is proposed on the basis of results of X-ray analyses and semie mpirical calculations.
