PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CYCLOPENTADIENYL METAL SALTS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CYCLOPENTADIENE DERIVATIVES BY UTILIZING THE SAME

摘要

A process for producing cyclopentadienyl metal salts which comprises reacting a cyclopentadiene derivative with a metal hydride in the presence of an amine compound; and a process for producing cyclopentadiene derivatives represented by general formula (3) by utilizing this reaction. In said formula, A represents a Group 16 element of the Periodic Table; B represents a Group 14 element; R<1> to R<6> each represents alkyl, etc.; and R<7> represents a hydrocarbon group or a trisubstituted silyl. By using these processes, not only a variety of cyclopentadienyl metal salts but cyclopentadiene derivatives can be produced in high yields with high conversions without using an expensive reagent or low-temperature facilities.
