A NOVEL ISOMERIZATION OF 6,6-TETRAMETHYLENEFULVENE TO CYCLOPENT-1-ENYL CYCLOPENTADIENE AND ITS CYCLOADDITION REACTIONS - SYNTHESIS OF POLYCYCLIC MOLECULAR FRAMEWORKS
V. Nair et al., A NOVEL ISOMERIZATION OF 6,6-TETRAMETHYLENEFULVENE TO CYCLOPENT-1-ENYL CYCLOPENTADIENE AND ITS CYCLOADDITION REACTIONS - SYNTHESIS OF POLYCYCLIC MOLECULAR FRAMEWORKS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(26), 1998, pp. 4603-4606
The acid catalysed isomerization of 6,6-tetramethylenefulvene to cyclo
pent-1-enyl cyclopentadiene and the reactions of the latter with vario
us dienophiles leading to novel polycycles are reported. (C) 1998 Else
