Abstract

Abstract Diketone 4 was prepared by hydrolysis of hexendiyne 5, the latter being available through McMurry coupling of acetylenic ketone 26. Upon treatment with dimethyltitanium dichloride, 4 cyclizes into fully alkylated furan derivative 30; the still unknown tetra-tert- butylethene (1, TTBE, 3, 4-di-tert-butyl-2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethylhex-3-ene) was not produced. The structural properties of 4 and the mechanism of its cyclization into 30 are discussed.(© ...
