Abstract
Pentamethylcyclopentadietlyllithium reacted with trifluoroiodomethane to provide a diene bearing a difluoroiodomethyl group and none of the trifluoromethyl diene. This result was consistent with insertion of di fluorocarbene into the C-1 bond of an initially formed iodo-diene. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
