Cyclop entylidene are slightly easier to cleave than acetonides... 

Cydopentane reagents used in synthesis are usually derived from cyclopentanone (R.A. Ellison, 1973). Classically they are made by base-catalyzed intramolecular aldol or ester condensations (see also p. 55). An important example is 2-methylcydopentane-l,3-dione. It is synthesized by intramolecular acylation of diethyl propionylsucdnate dianion followed by saponification and decarboxylation. This cyclization only worked with potassium t-butoxide in boiling xylene (R. Bucourt, 1965). Faster routes to this diketone start with succinic acid or its anhydride. A Friedel-Crafts acylation with 2-acetoxy-2-butene in nitrobenzene or with pro-pionyl chloride in nitromethane leads to acylated adducts, which are deacylated in aqueous acids (V.J. Grenda, 1967 L.E. Schick, 1969). A new promising route to substituted cyclopent-2-enones makes use of intermediate 5-nitro-l,3-diones (D. Seebach, 1977). 

A similar synthesis starts from commercially available 1,5-hexadiyne and 2-methyl-cyclopent-2-enone. The benzocyclobutene is obtained from a bis-acetylene in a cobalt-catalyzed reaction. It rearranges regio- and stereoselectively to a 3-deoxy steroid derivative. The overall yield from the cyclopentenone was 40% (R.L. Funk, 1977).

In order to obtain pure aromatics, cmde reformate is extracted to separate the aromatics from unreacted paraffins and cyclop araftins. The aromatics are, in turn, separated by simple fractional distillation to yield high purity benzene, toluene, xylenes, and aromatics.

The malonic ester required for synthesis of cyclopal (107) can be obtained by alkylation of diethyl allylmalonate (115) with 1,2-dibromocyclopentane in the presence of excess base. It is probable that the reaction proceeds by elimination of hydrogen bromide from the dihalide as the first step. The resulting allilic halide (116) would be the most reactive electrophile in the reaction mixture and thus would quickly alkylate the anion of the malonate to afford 117.

The cyclopentazepine systems are often1-5 referred to as 4-aza-, 5-aza-, and 6-azaazulene, respectively. Confusingly, the cyclopent[a]azepine 8a, which is more correctly known as 1ff-pyrrolo[l,2-a]azepine, has been referred to as 4-azaazulene6 and as 3a-azaazulene.7 Only the carbonyl derivative 8b of this nonconjugated system is included in this section since it can be represented as the fully conjugated, aromatic, dipolar structure 9.6... 

The parent cyclopent[Z>]-2 and cyclopent[c]azepine4 ring systems are known and have been fully characterized. Cyclopent[t/]azepine has also been reported54 but no full experimental details or properties of this system have been published. 

Unlike the isomeric cycloheptapyrroles, in which the nitrogen is located in the five-mem-bered ring, the cyclopentazepines are unstable for example, cyclopent[/)]azepine is stable in solution in the dark, but slowly decomposes in light and rapidly in the presence of oxygen.2 The deep turquoise crystals can, however, be stored in a refrigerator. The sapphire blue 1-bromo-2-ethoxycyclopent[ /]azepine is also photosensitive.55...

The process of dehydrohalogenation has been used on several occasions to prepare cyclopent-azepine and indenoazepine ring systems. 

An elegant extension of these intramolecular acylnitrene-induced ring expansions has been used for the synthesis of cyclopent[h]azepines.2 2-Haloindan-l-yl azidoformates 14 (X = Cl, Br), when subjected to pyrolysis at 300 °C in a hot tube packed with calcium oxide and copper turnings, produce cyclopent[6]azepine (15), as a dark turquoise oil, in excellent yield. Lesser yields (30 and 50%, respectively) of the 4-bromo and 3-methoxy derivatives can be similarly obtained.
