Description: The multifold palladium-catalysed arylation is a suitable method for the synthesis of sterically crowded cyclopentadienes bearing up to five ortho-substituted aryl groups. A maximum of four mesitylene groups can be introduced. While penta(para-xylyl)cyclopentadiene and pentakis(2-chlorophenyl)cyclopentadiene exhibit at least six rotamers in the proton NMR spectrum, only two rotamers are registered for the tetra(2-chlorophenyl)cyclopentadiene; the all-trans isomer is identified as the major one both by spectroscopy and by semi-empirical calculations.
