Leaving group potential of a substituted cyclopentadienyl anion toward oxidative addition.
The facility with which a substituted cyclopentadienyl anion may function as a leaving group for palladium-catalyzed allylation reactions is demonstrated. Reaction of several allylcyclopentadienyl substrates is shown. Nucleophilic displacement of carbon with nitrogen is achieved in the deallylation of allylpenta-p-acetylphenylcyclopentadiene with N-methylbenzylamine.
