Abstract

The cubyl anion was originally trapped in this route by the exchange of lithium for mercury. Bashir-Hashemi and Eaton developed the necessary methodology for hydrolysis of the N, N- diisopropylamide groups to give the tetraacid. This route was significantly improved by Bashir-Hashemi with the discovery that MgBr, etherate could be substituted for HgC12. 3, 4 The synthesis of the cubane tetraacid is a multistep process involving the lithiation of N, N,-
