Serendipitous, one-pot formation of 2,3,7-triphenylcyclopenta[c]pyran from 1,2-diphenylethanedione (“benzil”) and cyclopentadiene

Abstract

The reaction of 1,2-diphenylethanedione (“benzil”) with cyclopentadiene in the presence of sodium methoxide unexpectedly afforded a novel 2,3,7-triphenyl derivative of the bicyclic cyclopenta[c]pyran. The structure was elucidated by physical methods (IR, UV/VIS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR MS) and a single-crystal X-ray analysis.
