Abstract:

Surprising symmetry, surprising synthesis: Dicyclopropyldiethenylmethane (2), prepared from dicyclopropylketone (1) in several steps, was successfully cyclopropanated with a large excess of diazomethane in the presence of palladium(II) acetate yielding the structurally interesting tetracyclopropylmethane (3; 92 % yield). Upon catalytic hydrogenation, 3 was quantitatively converted into tetraisopropylmethane (4). X‐ray structure analysis established S₄ symmetry for 3 and D_2d symmetry for 4, in excellent agreement with the B3LYP/6‐31+G** computed structures.
