Abstract

Abstract Benzyl-and phenyl-cyclopentadiene have been shown to react with thallium ethoxide in ethanol to give the corresponding benzyl-and phenyl-cyclopentadienylthallium compounds in excellent yields. These reagents are air stable for brief periods, have extended shelf-lives, and have been shown to be superior starting materials for the synthesis of a variety of cyclopentadienylmetal complexes.
