Abstract
Reaction of 1,1-dichloro-2,5-diphenylcyclopropabenzene 6 with Meldrum's acid 8 in the presence of pyridine leads to coupling of the cycloproparenyl cation 7 with the stabilized diketo anion 9. Subsequent, spontaneous, base-induced dehydrochlorination gives the alkylidenecyclopropabenzene 11 in a one-pot reaction. Flash vacuum thermolysis of 11 at 650 °C ejects acetone and carbon dioxide, giving cyclopropabenzenylidenethenone 12 that is isolated in an Ar matrix at 20 K and characterized by a strong ketene band at 2107 cm-1 in the IR spectrum.
