Reaction between benzylbromide and sodium cyclopentadienide leads to a mixt
ure of dienes. These can be identified by several techniques such as size e
xclusion chromatography, mass spectroscopy (MS) and high performance liquid
chromatography/MS coupling. Their structure is confirmed by analysis of ad
ducts obtained after reaction of N-(4-benzoyl)-phenylmaleimide with these d
ienes. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
