Constructing Molecular Complexity and Diversity by Cycloaddition Reactions of Fulvenes 

Amongthe various types of fulvenes, pentafulvenes stand out as the most widely studied. They serve as 2it-, 4jt-, 6k-, or even three-carbon components in annula-tion processes, depending on the reaction partners. The periselectivity of these reactions depends upon both reaction partners. For decades, pentafulvenes have 

Cross Conjugation Dendralene, Radialene and Fulvene Chemistry, First Edition. 

Condition A ketone, fulvene and Ag2C03 were heated to reflux for 5 h in CH3CN. 

Condition B ketone and Ag2C03 was heated to reflux for 12 h in CH3CN, followed by addition of fulvene.
