Reaction Steps

7 g of 4-fluorobenzylcyclopentadiene (40 mmoles) and 50 ml of hexane are charged, in an argon atmosphere, into a tailed test-tube equipped with magnetic stirring. The solution is cooled to 0° C. and 16 ml of a 2.4M solution of butyllithium in hexane are added. The temperature is then allowed to rise to room temperature and the mixture is left under stirring for a night. A precipitate is formed which is filtered, washed twice with 10 ml of hexane and finally dried. 6.5 g of the desired salt are obtained with a yield of 90%.
