abstract
In the case of lithium compound 1 the retroDielsAlder reaction does not have to be accelerated artificiallyquite the opposite! 1 represents a rare case in that it reacts before it can be investigated. It has now been possible to trap 1 as the title compound 2 with solvated iron(II) chloride. 2 is also of interest with regard to its possible chemical reactions. It is reminiscent of ferrocene, but has a highly distorted system. (Figure Presented.) Copyright 1988 by VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Germany
