Strain for an effect : The cross‐coupling reaction of highly strained tetrahedranes with aryl halides has been investigated. In the presence of a palladium catalyst, tetrahedryllithium rapidly reacted with various aryl halides to form aryl‐substituted tetrahedranes (see picture) in good to excellent yields. The UV/Vis absorption spectra suggest an extended σ–π conjugation between the σ orbital of the tetrahedrane core and the aryl π system.
