Investigation of the synthesis and thermal rearrangements of 1,2,3,4,5-Pentaphenyl-2,4,-Cyclopentadiene Alkyl Ethers

A comparative synthetic study of a series of six 1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl-2,4-cyclopentadiene alkyl ethers was investigated. It was determined that the most efficient route to these ethers was not the most generally accepted route to ethers - the Williamson Reaction - but rather a solvolysis reaction b...
