Formation of a Highly Explosive Valence Isomer of Indene from Dilithiopentalene and Chlorocarbene The principal product of the reaction of dilithiopentalene ( 3 ) with methyllithium and methylene chloride is shown by difference‐FT‐NMR, spectroscopy to be tetracyclo[4.3.0.0 3,5 .0 4,6 ]nona‐1,7‐diene ( 8 ). This laterally bridged benzvalene derivative explodes violently at temperatures as low as −40° when concentrated. Controlled rearrangement in diluted solution gives indene ( 4 ). The key step in the formation of the tetracyclic C 9 H 8 ‐compound 8 is suggested to be an intramolecular 1,4‐carbene addition.
