Mild generation of adamantylidenevinylidene (an alkenylidenecarbene) from 2-bromo-2-(trimethylsilylethynyl)adamantane and (2-bromo-2-trimethylsilylvinylidene)adamantine
Abstract
Adamantylidenevinylidene, a new alkenylidenecarbene, was successfully generated by fluoride-initiated elimination of trimethylsilyi and bromo groups from 2-bromo-2-(trimethylsilylethynyl)adamantane and (2-bromo-2-trimethylsilylvinylidene)adamantane.
