An efficient catalytic method for fulvene synthesis.
The effects of the nature and amount of base, substrate structure, amount of added water and solvent on the condensation of carbonyl compounds with cyclopentadiene in the presence of secondary amines were investigated. Based on these studies, a new efficient and green synthesis of fulvenes was developed.
On leave from Uludag University, Department of Chemistry, 16059, Bursa, Turkey.
