Preparationsof acyclicdienylmetalcompoundshave received little attentionexcept for l-4 dienylalkalillletal compouuds , while the preparatim, conformationalaualysisand reactionof a number of allylmetalconpoundshave been studied extensively5. We wish to describeherein a generalprocedure for the preparation,conforwationalanalysisand so= chemicalreactionsof dipentadienylzinc compounds,since several crystallinedienylalkalimetal compoundshave became readily available3. Dipentadienylzinc-tetrahydrofuranate 1 (mp. -10') was isolated aa needles by reacting crystallinepentadienylpotassiumwitha half equimole of anhydrouszinc dichloridein tetrahydrofuranat -2O', evaporatingthe excess amomt of tetrahydrofurim, extractingfrom the residuewith n-peutcmeand then cooling the n-pentcmesolution to -78' to induce crystallization.
All procedureswere carried out in an argon atmospherebelow O', aa _&was thermally
