β¦ Synopsis
We have described the reaction of 1-chloro-[2.2.0]bicyclohexa-2,5-diene (I) with lithium dialkylamides to afford dialkylanilines. 1 The critical finding with regard to the mechanism of this change is that the reaction of I with lithium dimethylamide in Me2ND in the presence of diphenylisobenzofuran (DPIBF) afforded a modest yield of 1II.l This led us to conclude that butalene (II) is an intermediate in this reaction, and thus presumably in the reaction sequence without trapping reagent which affords dimethylaniline.
