This paper reports the synthesis of polyene oligomers (“oligoenes”) that contain up to 15 double bonds that are identical to the “all five-membered ring” species formed through cyclopolymerization of diisopropyldipropargylmalonate. The oligoenes contain an isopropylidene unit at each end. The isolated oligoenes range from the “dimer” (a pentaene, (<i>E</i>)-di-1,2-[1-(2-methyl-propenyl)-4,4-di-<i>iso</i>-propyl-carboxy-cyclopent-1-enyl]-ethene (<b>3b</b><b>₂</b>)) to the “heptamer” (<b>3b</b><b>₇</b>, a pentadecaene). Oligoenes <b>3b</b><b>₂</b>, <b>3b</b><b>₃</b>, <b>3b</b><b>₄</b>, <b>3b</b><b>₅</b>, and <b>3b</b><b>₇</b> were prepared through Wittig-like reactions between aldehydes and the appropriate monometallic Mo alkylidene or bimetallic Mo bisalkylidene species whose alkylidene is derived from an identical five-membered ring monomeric unit. Compounds <b>3b</b><b>₂</b>, <b>3b</b><b>₄</b>, and <b>3b</b><b>₆</b> were prepared through McMurry coupling reactions of aldehydes. A representative aldehyde (the “monomeric” aldehyde) is diisopropyl-3-formyl-4-(2-methylprop-1-enyl)cyclopent-3-ene-1,1-dicarboxylate (<b>2b</b>), McMurry coupling of which yields <b>3b</b><b>₂</b>. A heptaene that contains a six-membered ring in the central unit also was prepared in a Wittig-like reaction involving a bimetallic Mo alkylidene; this species is a model for oligoenes that contain both six-membered and five-membered rings. X-ray structures of two bimetallic species that are employed in the synthesis of the oligoenes are reported.
