Synthesis of Sterically Overcrowded Molecules

Ketene 3 can be isomerized to tricyclopentanone 2 by treatment with silica gel. Thus, the yield of tetrahedrane 5 , which is formed upon irradiation of 2, has been improved. On the other hand, diazoketone 10 cannot be used as a precursor for 2. This failure is due to steric hindrance. For the same reason cyclobutadiene 4 is a very poor candidate for Diels-Alder cycloadditions.

Tetrahedran 5 ist durch Tieftemperaturbelichtung von Cyclopentadienon 1 zuganglich[21. Dabei tritt zunachst eine Uberkreuzaddition zum Tricyclopentanon 2 ein, das Kohlenmonoxid eliminiert und uber Cyclobutadien 4 in Tetrahedran 5 ubergeht. Hauptnebenprodukt der Belichtung ist Keten 3.
