Convenient solution route to alkylated pentalene ligands: New metal monoalkylpentalenyl complexes

Carbene-induced rearrangement of 8,8-dibromobicyclo[5.1.0]octa-2,4-dienes and subsequent in situ deprotonation of the dihydropentalenes formed represents a straightforward and versatile solution route to pentalene ligands for use in organometallic chemistry. We report here the synthesis of 6-alkyl-s...
