Abstract
Reduction of persilylated dimethylenecyclobutene with lithium metal in 1,2-dimethoxyethane yields green crystals of persilylated dimethylene cyclobutene dianion dilithium as the first 6C-8 pi allyl anion system. The molecular structure, determined by X-ray crystallography, is disc ussed in comparison to that of the neutral starting molecule.
