Toward a molecular-size "Tinkertoy" construction set. Preparation of terminally functionalized [n]staffanes from [1.1.1]propellane

A facile but low-yield synthesis of [n]staffanes (the oligomers of [1.1.1.]propellane 1, n =1-5) functionalized on one or both ends is described, and their properties are summarized. The substituents are -COOCH3, -n-C4H9, -C6H5, -Br, -I, and -SCOCH3, and their conversion to others, such as -COOH, -COCH3 and -SH, is demonstrated. It is proposed that these rod-shaped molecules will be useful in the development of a molecular-size civil engineering construction set analogous to children's toy construction sets.
Formation and Reactions of 1-Lithiobicyclopentane
Wiberg, Kenneth B.,Waddell, Sherman T.
, p. 289 - 292 (2007/10/02)
Bicyclopentyllithium was prepared in two steps from the readily available propellane and proved to be a versatile intermediate in the preparation of a wide variety of 1-substituted bicyclopentanes.
