In this video I am making [1.1.1]Propellane starting with the chlorination of Pentaerythritol, followed by alcohol oxidation and decarboxylation. The resulting terminal alkene is then reacted with the dibromo carbene which is formed from Bromoform. The resulting dibromo dichloro product is then subjected to a double transmetalation with methyllithium to form [1.1.1]Propellane.
Don't conduct any chemical reactions without proper and professional safety analysis and risk management. Measures taken can be invisible, not filmed, not properly visible on camera or misjudged by the viewer due to setup or video construction. Always conduct own appropriate measures regardless of video setup.
