Abstract

1 ganoalkali compounds. That this interpretation is reasonable was indicated by the preparation2s3 of the stable anion 2 from reaction of 4-chloro-1-p-biphenylylbutane with alkali metals. Staley and co-workers4 have reported that attempts to generate the spiro anion 3 by reactions of spiro [2.5] octa-4, 7-diene with potassium amide in liquid ammonia at temperatures as low as-65 OC or with n-butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran-hexane at room ...
