Evidence for the existence of the dianion of cyclobutadiene

Abstract

Evidence is presented for the generation of cyclobutadiene dianion, a Hückel aromatic, from cis-dichlorocyclobutene and sodium naphthalide; although highly reactive, the dianion can be deuteriated to afford 3,4-dideuteriocyclobutene.
