Abstract
Bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) ketone (1) reacts at low temperatures with LiAlH4 to form in good yields (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)metha nol (2) and its corresponding intramolecular Diels-Alder product 3 in a ca. 2:1 ratio. The alcohol 2 is separated from the tetracyclic compo und 3 by crystallisation at -70 degrees C from hexane/pyridine as pyri dine adduct. The pyridine-free alcohol 2 is available by repeated diss olving of the adduct in hexane and removal of the volatile components in vacuo. The alcohol tends to intramolecular [4 + 2]
