Abstract
The 9-cyclopentyl-9-borabarbaralane (3e) was obtained by the reaction of K2C8H8 with cyclo-C5H9BCl2. Upon reaction of 3e with acetone, aceta ldehyde, ethoxyacetylene, trideuterioacetonitrile, and acetic acid, on ly products derived from -cyclopentyl-9-borabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-t riene (1e) were obtained. On the other hand, by methanolysis of 3e, th e boronic ester 17 was formed. The tetracyclic borane 18 is proposed a s the intermediate. Possible reasons for this unusual chemical behavio r are discussed.
