✦ Synopsis


The title carbene (1) is shown to produce the benzvalene skeleton by stereospecific intramolecular 1,4 addition and not by classic cyclopropanation. Cyclopentadienylanion (1) reacts with chlorocarbene generated from dichloromethane and methyl lithium to give benzvalene (4).' Analogous reactions have been reported for further carbo-and heteroaromatic anions.' Mechanistic studies in our laboratory suggest that the parent reaction proceeds uia the cyclopentadienylcarbene (2).
