Dilithium n-butylcyclooctatetraenide is prepared by reaction of 2 equiv of n-butyllithium with 1 equiv of cyclooctatetraene in diethyl ether at 25/sup 0/C. Treatment of this solution with 0.5 equiv of UCl/sub 4/ dissolved in tetrahydrofuran followed by Soxhlet extraction with hexane resulted in a 50% yield of 1,1'-di-n-butyluranocene based on cyclooctatetraene. Treatment of 1,1'-di-n-butyluranocene with nitrobenzene resulted in a 51% yield of azobenzene based on cyclooctatetraene.
