Cyclopentadiene and metallocenes, typically zirconocene dichloride, are suitable substrates for multiple arylations with aryl bromides in palladium-catalyzed reactions. Thus, various aryl bromides bearing either an electron-donating or an electron-withdrawing substituent can react with these substrates to afford the corresponding 1,2,3,4,5-pentaaryl-13-cyclopentadienes in a single preparative step. Derivatives of cyclopentadiene. including di- and trisubstituted cyclopentadienes. and indene are arylated in a similar fashion.
Aryl bromides can efficiently react with some metallocenes, typically zirconocene dichloride, in the presence of a palladium/phosphine catalyst system and an appropriate base to produce the corresponding pentaarylated cyclopentadienes.
The preparation of mixed ligand ruthenocenes containing bulky cyclopentadienyl ligands. Crystal structures of pentaphenylruthenocene, [Ru(η5-C5Ph5)(η5-C5H5)], pentaparatolylruthenocene, [Ru{η5-C5(p-MeC6H4)5}(η5-C5H5)] and pentaphenylpentamethylruthenocene, [Ru(η5-C5Ph5)(η5-C5Me5)]
β=66.43(1), γ=62.80(2)°) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies; the cyclopentadienyl rings in each structure are almost parallel and nearly eclipsed. For 1, 2 and 3, two oxidative processes, but no reductive electrochemical processes, were observed. The precipitated product from the reaction of Ru3(CO)12, C5Ph5Br and Zn in xylenes yielded, after subsequent reaction with NaBPh4, [

Pentaaryl-substituted cyclopentadienes and cyclopentenes have been employed in catalytic hydrogenation and photochemical cyclodehydrogenation reactions, targeting strained bowl-shaped structures. Both types of reactions generally stop at the monohydrogenation and monocyclization stage, respectively.
