DIMERIZATION OF 1-CYCLOPROPYL-1,3-BUTADIENE CATALYZED BY NICKEL(0)-TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE COMPLEX

Abstract
Oligomerization of 1-cyclopropyl-1,3-butadiene (1) was accomplished by the catalytic action of nickel(0)-triphenylphosphine. The incorporation of the cyclopropane ring was evident since the dimer 2 isolated in ca. 50% was 4-cyclopropyl-1,5,7,9-undecatetraene. The head-to-head type structure of 2 was proved by the use of 1-cyclopropyl-4,4-dideuterio-1,3-butadiene (1d).
