3-Ferrocenyl-2,4,5-tri-(β-naphthyl)cyclopentadienone undergoes a Diels–Alder reaction with di-(β-naphthyl) acetylene to yield, after elimination of carbon monoxide, ferrocenyl-penta-(β-naphthyl)benzene (4). 1H and 13C variable-temperature NMR studies on 4 reveal the existence of multiple diastereoisomers at low temperature. These data are interpreted in terms of slowed rotation of the naphthyl groups, and are supported by the X-ray crystal structure of 4, which exhibits disorder at three of the naphthyl sites.Key words: sterically crowded molecules, hindered rotations, crystallography, NMR.

One-pot tandem oxidation and double Diels-Alder reaction of myrcene or ocimene with in situ generated 1,4-benzoquinone or 1,2-benzoquinone at 0°C for 1.5 h yielded polyalkylated 1,4,4a,5,8,8a,9a,10a-octahydro-9,10-anthracenediones and bis(alkylated) 9,10-phenanthrenedione respectively. The structure of novel bis-adduct from ocimene, (1R,4aR,5S,8aS,9aS,10aR)-rel- 1,4,4a,5,8,8a,9a,10a-octahydro-2,6-dimethyl-1,5-bis(3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl)-9,10-anthracenedione, was elucidated through single crystal X-ray analysis.

The intramolecular frustrated P/B Lewis pair Mes2PCH2CH2B(C6F5)2 (7) reacts readily with phenylsilane by heterolytic cleavage of the Si-H bond to give the zwitterion [Mes2(PhH2Si)P+CH2CH2B-H(C6F5)2] (8a), which has been fully characterized and its structure confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Variable-temperature NMR studies revealed that the reaction is reversible. Adduct 8a is the predominant species (ca. 98%) in CD2Cl2 solution at low temperature (193 K), whereas at ambient temperature (299 K) it exists in a ca. 7 : 3 equilibrium with unreacted 7 and PhSiH3. Diphenylsilane reacted similarly with the frustrated Lewis pair 7, however, the equilibrium was found to favor the starting materials in the investigated temperature range.
