Abstract:Reaction of the 3,5-diaryl-l,2-dithiolium salts 2 with the metal cyclopentadienides 4 and 9 leads to the formation of the tricyclic compounds 6 and 10 via a ring-opened intermediate, which undergoes an intramolecular Diels-Alder cyclization. Compounds 6 and 10 rearrange by treatment with boron trifluoride-diethyl ether to the isomeric compounds 7 and 11. The structures 6f and 7f were confirmed by X-ray analysis. Condensation of the 3,5-diaryl-l,2,4-dithiazolium salts 3 with the metal cyclopentadienides 4 affor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
