Fulvene(Pentafulvene) usually refers to the hydrocarbon (CH=CH)2C=CH2. It is a prototype of a cross-conjugated hydrocarbon.[2] The parent, fulvene itself, is rarely encountered,[3] but substituted derivatives are numerous. They are mainly of interest as ligands and precursors to ligands in organometallic chemistry. They are often yellow.

Preparation

Substituted fulvenes are readily prepared by the condensation of cyclopentadiene and aldehydes and ketones:

C5H6 + R2C=O → C4H4C=CR2 + H2O

Thiele is credited with discovering this reaction.[4][5]

Modern synthesis of fulvenes employ buffer systems.[6][7]

Fulvenes

Several types of fulvenes are defined.[8] They are:

Ligand in organometallic chemistry

Fulvenes are common ligands and ligand precursors in organometallic chemistry.[9] 2,3,4,5-Tetramethylfulvene, abbreviated Me4Fv, results from the deprotonation of cationic pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complexes.[10] Some Me4Fv complexes are called tuck-in complexes.
