Attempted synthesis of new intrinsically electroactive polymers by the condensation of cyclopentadienyl anions with diesters

Treatment of diethyl oxalate with two equivalents of sodium cyclopentadienide in THF gave, upon work-up, biscyclopentadienyldiketone-THF contaminated with a small amount of cyclopentadienylethoxyldiketone in 87% yield. Treatment of diethyl oxalate with four equivalents of sodium cyclopentadienide in...
