Synthesis and Oxidative Coupling of Bi-cyclononatetraenylide – Reaction of Bi-cyclononatetraenyl with Potassium

Contrary to literature reports, treatment of bi-cyclononatetraenyl (1) with potassium does not give bi-cyclononatetraenylide (2), but ccct -cyclononatetraenide (6) in a high yield. Twofold deprotonation of the ring assembly 1 takes place after equilibration 1 ⇌ 1' followed by treatment of 1�...
