β¦ Synopsis
THIS BRIEF NOTE is occasioned by recent observations in Germany and the Soviet Union. SchGnleber3 has remarked the thermal conversion of 1-vinylspiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene (l-1 to indane at 350Β°. In related work, Mironov, et al. 4 --reported the rearrangement of spiro[4.4]nona-1,3-diene
to indane at 300-400s. In the latter case, several tetrahydroindene intermediates were isolated. We describe here the isolation of a compound

Organocuprates react with spiro [2,4]heptadiene 4-nitrile to furnish ring-opened cyclopentadiene adducts which can be chemoselectively monohydrogenated to the corresponding unsaturated cyclopentene nitriles. The use of optically active spiro [2,4]heptadiene ,allows for the asymmetric synthesis of ch
