The syntheses of decahydro-5,14:6,13:7,12-trimethanopentacene and decahydro-5,14:7,12-dimethanopentacene are described (see Schemes 1 and 2 respectively). Diels -Alder reaction of diene (10) with two equivalents of tetrachlorothiophen 1,1-dioxide (11) gave the adduct (12), which was aromatized to (13) through treatment with base. Reductive dechlorination (Na/ PriOH ) of (13) gave (6). A similar set of reactions performed on (17), itself prepared from cyclohexa-1,4-diene and two equivalents of hexachlorocyclopentadiene (15), gave (7). The crystal structures of (6) and (7) were determined. An interesting feature of the structure of (7) is the slight endo pyramidalization (by c. 3°) of the trigonal carbon atoms C 4a, C 7a, C 11a and C 14a. Model ab initio calculations (STO-3G basis set) on complexes (27) and (28), whose geometries were culled from the crystal structure of (6), indicate that significant laticyclic hyperconjugative interactions (c. 0.3 eV ) are mainly responsible for causing the observed splitting between the πs+πs and πs-πs levels in the photoelectron spectrum of (6). Orbital interactions through the pair of six connecting sigma bonds (OIT-6-B) in (6) have a negligible effect (c. 0.08 eV ) on these levels. In agreement with prediction, laticyclic hyperconjugation does not affect the πa+πa and πa-πa levels.

The zwitterionic λ5Si-tetrafluorosilicates F4SiCH2NMe2H (1) and F4SiCH2NMe3 (2) behave as Lewis acids and react with [Me3NH]F (molar ratio 1:1) in aqueous solution to yield the ionic λ6Si-pentafluorosilicates [Me3NH][F5SiCH2NMe2H] (3) and [Me3NH][F5SiCH2NMe3] (4), respectively. These hexacoordinate silicon compounds contain singly charged λ6Si-silicate anions ([F5SiCH2NMe2H]- , [F5SiCH2NMe3]- ) with an SiF5C skeleton. Compounds 3 and 4 were isolated as the crystalline hydrates 3·H2O (yield 80%) and 4·H2O (yield 82%) which were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Si-coordination polyhedra in the crystals of 3·H2O and 4·H2O are slightly distorted octahedra

AbstractFormaldehyde reacts with diformamide (10) to give N-(hydroxymethyl)diformamide (11), which upon treatment with thionylchloride yields N-(chlormethyl)diformamide (12) together with small amounts of oxydimethylenebis(diformamide) (13). Various diformylamine derivatives, such as diformylaminomethyl formiate (14), diformylaminomethylisothiocyanate (15) and the N-diformylaminomethylated guanidinium salt 16, can be prepared from 12. Bis(diformylamino) methane (7) can be obtained by the reaction of sodium diformamide (8) with either 1-(chloromethyl)pyridinium chloride (9) or N-(chloromethyl)diformamide (12) in acetonitrile. The action of tris(chloromethyl) amine (18) on sodium diformamide (8) affords tris(diformylaminomethyl)amine (19). The constitution of the compounds 7, 11 and 19 was confirmed by crystal structure determination. The nature of the products from the reactions of aromatic compounds with 12 depends on the Lewis acid which is used as activator. Thus the N-benzylformamides 20a, b can be obtained from toluene and mesitylene and 12/BF3-ether, whereas 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene is formylated by 12/AlCl3 to give the aldehyde 22. Interestingly enough, a novel and efficient formylating reagent resulted from these investigations: bis(diformylamino)methane (7), which can be activated by Lewis acids, e. g. AlCl3. The scope of this procedure is comparable with that of the Olah-formylation method (formylfluoride/BF3).
