Reaction of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone with anion 8 derived by monodesilylation of 1,1‐bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclopropa[ b ]naphthalene ( 10 ) gives the 1‐(5′‐cyclopentadienyl)‐substituted cycloproparene 17 from simple anion addition to the carbonyl group rather than fulvalene 16 from loss of Me 3 SiO − . Reactions of anion 8 with p ‐(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde and thiophene‐2‐carbaldehyde give the expected exocyclic olefins 12a and 12b , respectively. In contrast, the 3,6‐dimethoxy analogue 24 , obtained from cycloproparene 20 , gives the C1 unsubstituted cycloproparene 19 and the Tishchenko products, p ‐(trifluoromethyl)benzyl p ‐(trifluoromethyl)benzoate ( 21 ) and 2‐thienylmethyl thiophene‐2‐carboxylate ( 22 ), respectively.
