7b-Methyl-7bH-cyclopent[cd]indene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, a new 10 π-electron aromatic system; X-ray crystal structure

Abstract

The title compound (2b) and its dimethyl ester (2a) have been synthesised from the cycloadduct of 3-methoxy-3a-methyl-3aH-indene and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate; n.m.r. spectra and an X-ray crystallographic analysis of (2b) show that they are aromatic compounds.
