Abstract
Reduction of persilylated dimethylenecyclobutene with lithium metal in 1,2-dimethoxyethane yields green crystals of persilylated dimethylenecyclobutene dianion dilithium as the first 6C-8π allyl anion system. The molecular structure, determined by X-ray crystallography, is discussed in comparison to that of the neutral starting molecule.
