FIELD OF THE INVENTION R3 R1 The present invention relates to a process for the prepa 1O ration of a cyclopentadienyl metal Salt and a process for the R2 preparation of a cyclopentadiene derivative using the same. wherein BACKGROUND ART A is an atom of the 16 group of the Periodic Table, 15 B is an atom of the 14 group of the Periodic Table, Cyclopentadienyl metal Salts and derivatives of cyclopen R", R. R. R, R and R are the same or different and tadiene derived from Such metal Salts are important inter independently represent a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a mediates which are used in various fields Such as the C-C alkyl group which may optionally be Substituted preparation of medicines, agrochemicals, metallocenes, etc. with a fluorine atom, a C7-Co aralkyl group which may An effective proceSS for the preparation of cyclopentadienyl optionally be Substituted with a fluorine atom, a Co-Co aryl metal Salts comprises removing hydrogen atoms from cyclo group which may optionally be Substituted with a fluorine pentadiene with bases to Synthesize corresponding metal atom, a C-C Substituted Silyl group, a C-C alkoxyl group which may optionally be Substituted with a fluorine Salts, and for example, Such a process using butyl lithium is atom, a C7-Caralkyloxyl group which may optionally be known (J. Organomet. Chem., 462, 1993, 57-67). 25 Substituted with a fluorine atom, a Co-Co aryloxyl group However, the process using butyl lithium has disadvan which may optionally be substituted with a fluorine atom, or tages Such that (1) used reagents are expensive, (2) it a C-Co di-Substituted amino group which may optionally be substituted with a fluorine atom, provided that any two or requires low-temperature facilities to perform the reaction, more of R', R,R,R,R and R may together form a ring, and (3) the reaction should be carried out at the low R’ is a hydrocarbon group which may optionally be concentration of reagents in an industrial Scale, and thus the substituted with a fluorine atom, or a tri-substituted silyl productivity decreases, Since the desired product cannot group, and effectively be obtained if the reaction is not carried out at a Cp is a cyclopetadiene ring comprising the Step of react low temperature, although the amount of reaction heat is ing a halide compound of the formula (1): large. As a matter of course, cyclopentadiene derivatives 35 derived from cyclopentadienyl metal Salts have the same (1) problems. Also, a process using an alkali metal hydride is known. However, this process has disadvantages Such that (1) the 40 kinds of Substrates are extremely limited, (2) mineral oils, which are usually contained as a Stabilizer in marketed alkali metal hydrides, should be beforehand removed, and thus the use of the alkali metal hydrides is unfavorable from the 45 Viewpoint of disaster measures, and the number of proceSS Steps in the industrial production. wherein A, B, R. R. R. R", R, R and R7 are the same DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION as defined above, and Y is a chlorine atom, a bromine atom 50 or an iodine atom In View of the above circumstances, the present inventors with a cyclopentadiene of the formula (2): extensively Studied a proceSS which can easily produce a cyclopentadienyl metal Salt without the use of expensive HCp (2) reagents and low-temperature facilities, and has no Substrate wherein Cp is the Same as defined above, in the presence of Specificity. As a result, it has been found that Such an object 55 a metal hydride and an amine compound. can be accomplished by the reaction of a cyclopentadiene Here, the proceSS according to the first aspect of the and a metal hydride in the presence of an amine compound, present invention, that is, the preparation process of a and thus the present invention has been completed. cyclopentadienyl metal Salt by the reaction of a cyclopen Accordingly, the present invention provides 60 tadiene and a metal hydride in the presence of an amine compound, will be explained. 1. a process for the preparation of a cyclopentadienyl Cyclopentadienes used in the present invention may be metal Salt comprising the Step of reacting a cyclopen any compounds having a cyclopentadienyl moiety.
