Procedure

Into a 200 ml, 3-neck flask, equipped with a reflux condenser, a gas inlet tube and a magnetic stirring bar, was charged, under nitrogen, 2 grams t-butylcyclopentadienyl lithium and 25 ml anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF). The solution was cooled in an ice-bath and 10 ml acetone, dried over 3A, was cautiously added. The reaction mixture was allowed stir overnight and quenched, cautiously, with 60 ml water. The resulting solution was extracted with ethyl ether using the standard lab extraction procedure. The resulting yellow oil was distilled under vacuum at 40-45° C. to obtain a clear yellow oil, 0.76 g.
