To lithium (32 mg, 4.61 mmol) was added a diethyl ether (2.5 ml) solution of phenyl(trimethylsilyl)acetylene (408 mg, 2.34 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. To an ether solution of 1,4-dilithio-1,3-butadiene thus obtained was added diethyl ether (8 ml) and unreacted lithium was removed by filtration. Carbon dioxide was bubbled into the filtrate at room temperature for 1 min. After treatment of the resulting mixture with hydrochloric acid (3 N), the organic layer was extracted with diethyl ether and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removal of volatile substances, the residue was subjected to
(SiO2, hexane:ethyl acetate = 30:1) to afford the title compound, 3,4-diphenyl-2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienone (I) (22 mg, 5%). Suitable crystals for X-ray crystallographic analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a hexane solution of (I).Hydrogen atoms attached to C(sp3) and C(sp2) carbon atoms were treated as riding with C—H distances of 0.96 and 0.93 Å, respectively, and were included in the final cycles of least squares with isotropic Uijs by using a riding model, while all the other atoms were refined anisotropically.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. The Flack parameter was not changed after least-square refinement without merging the reflections. When the refinement was carried out using the opposite absolute structure, the Flack parameter was 0.99 (7). |

Although the synthesis of the title compound, (I), was already reported (Rajesh & Periasamy, 1999), the reported NMR data were incorrect. Thus, we report herein the molecular structure of the title compound and revise its NMR data. The five-membered ring and four bonds derived from the each of carbon atoms in the five-membered ring are situated in a planar geometry, as was observed in the tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (Barnes et al., 1991). Bond alternation of the C—C bonds in the five-membered ring of (I) is found, as was observed in other cyclopentadienones (Barnes et al., 1991; Ruffani et al., 2006). The C1—O1 distance (1.2139 (15) Å) in (I), is quite similar to that found in the tetraphenyl derivative (Barnes et al., 1991).
