Diels-Alder Additions as Mechanistic Probes–Interception of Silyl-Isoindenes: Organometallic Derivatives of Polyphenylated Cycloheptatrienes and Related Seven-Membered Rings

Abstract

The intermediacy of short-lived isoindenes, generated in the course of metallotropic or silatropic shifts over the indene skeleton, can be shown by Diels-Alder trapping with tetracyanoethylene, leading to the complete elucidation of the dynamic behaviour of a series of polyindenylsilanes. Cyclopentadienones, bearing ferrocenyl and multiple phenyl or naphthyl substituents undergo [4 + 2] cycloadditions with diaryl acetylenes or …
