Cyclization of dicyanovinylidene with two diphenylacetylene units to form a 6,6-dicyanofulvene derivative
Abstract
Reaction of (NC)2CC(Cl)Mo(CO)3C5H5 with diphenylacetylene in boiling benzene results in the cyclization of dicyanovinylidene with two diphenylacetylene units to give green 6,6-dicyano-1,2,3,4-tetraphenylfulvene.
