✦ Synopsis
A STUDY of restricted rotation in the bithienyl series, which should give valuable information about the geometric and electronic properties of such compounds, has hitherto been very difficult to undertake owing to difficulties involved in the synthesis of such compounds. Some years ago Hord & .&. =,2 investigated two sterically hindered 2-and 3-phenylthiophenes, which they synthesized from the corresponding halides via the Ullman reaction, and which they resolved into optical antipodes. They also prepared some 3,3'-bithienyls3 through the Ullman reaction, but it remains difficult to obtain such compounds by this method. The reaction of 3-thienyllithiwn derivatives, obtained through lowtemperature halogen-metal interconversion of bromosubstituted thiophenes 495 with n-butyllithium, with cupric chloride,6 provides a new route to 3,3'bithienyls. Sterically hindered 3,3'-bithienyls 858 then easily available

## Abstract (−)‐(__S__)‐ and (+)‐(__R__)‐3‐methylcyclopentene (__1__) has been prepared in a stereochemically unambiguous synthesis. The (__S__)‐configuration for (−)‐__1__ was confirmed by correlation with (−)‐(__S__)‐1‐methylindane.
