Five different anions are formed when bicyclonona-2,6,8-triene (1a) is deprotonated: the 6- and 7-yl anions when using tBuLi/TMEDA, the 4,6- and 4,7-diyl dianions when using nBuLi/tBuOK, and the 4-yl anion (1-) after quenching the dianions with THF.Reaction of the anions with Me3SnCl gives the 6-, 7-, and 4-monostannylated bicyclonona-2,6,8-trienes 1b, 1c, and 1d as well as the exo-4,7-, endo-4,6-, and endo-4,7-distannylated bicyclonona-2,6,8-trienes 1e, 1f, and 1g, respectively.Reaction of 1- with Me3SiCl and Me3PbCl leads to the corresponding 4-silyl derivative 1h and its plumbyl analogue 1i.Inversely, cleavage of 1d with MeLi allows to generate 1- under particularly mild conditions.The metallation of tricyclo2,4>nona-6,8-diene (3a), which was tested for an alternative route to 1-, gives two stannyl derivatives 3b and 3c which are substituted in the vinylic positions. - On heating 1d and 1i rearrange to yield 9-trimethylstannylbarbaralane (2d) and its plumbyl analogue 2i quantitatively.The reactivity decreases on passing from 1i to 1d whereas 1h does not react.Mercury and zinc derivatives of 1- are so labile that only dibarbaralylmercury (2j) and -zinc (2k) are observed by NMR spectroscopy.The title rearrangement proceeds by a 1,5-homodienyl metallatropic shift which involves an endo-type transition structure. - The new compounds 1b - i, 2d, 2i, 3b and 3c are characterized with emphasis on the NMR data including 1H, 13C, 119Sn, 207Pb signal shifts and various heteronuclear couplings.Key Words: Deprotonation / 1,5-Homodienyl shift / Bicyclonona-2,6,8-trienes / Tricyclo2,4>nona-6,8-dienes / Barbaralanes
cis-1,2-Bis(phenylsulfonyl)ethylene: a Novel, Convenient Acetylene Synthon in Diels-Alder Reactions

cis-1,2-Bis(phenylsulfonyl)ethylene (5) is found to be a reactive acetylene synthon in Diels-Alder reactions since, after cycloaddition to cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, and cycloheptatriene, and reduction with sodium amalgam, the corresponding bicyclodienes (6)-(8) are obtained in good yields.
