Abstract

Direct routes for the synthesis of pentakis(trifluoromethy1)cyclopentadienide salts, hexakis(trifluoromethy1)cyclopentadiene and 5H-pentakis(trifluoromethyl)cyclopentadiene are described. ... There is a general interest in the synthesis of cyclopentadienyl derivatives containing trifluoromethyl groups, bearing in mind the possibility of attachment to transition metals and subsequent potential enhanced catalytic activity. Systems containing up to four trifluoromethyl groups ...
