Abstract

The long‐sought dianion of the still unknown acepentalene 2 is formed surprisingly easily upon reaction of triquinacene 1 with n‐butylithium and potassium tert‐amyl alkoxide in hexane at room temperature. 22⊖ reacts with chlorotrimethylsilane to give a mixture of 1,4‐ and 1,10‐bis(trimethylsilyl)dihydroacepentalenes.
