Abstract

Current interest in organometallic additions to conjugated dienes and in the allylic rearrangements of the resulting organometallic systems has prompted us to examine the behavior of l, l-dipheny1-1, 3-butadiene (11) toward other electrophilic addends as well. The finding that diisobutylaluminum hydride adds to I1 in a 3, 4 fashion and that the resulting adduct then rearranges to a 1, 4 adduct2 suggested that other electrophiles might show a ...
