Arene-chromium tricarbonyl complexes in the Pauson-Khand reaction

J Org Chem. 2005 Dec 9;70(25):10611-4. doi: 10.1021/jo0519965.

Abstract

[reactions: see text] We show the use of arene-chromium tricarbonyl complexes in intra- and intermolecular Pauson-Khand reactions. Both styrene and ethynylbenzene complexes react with alkynes and olefins. The synthesis of enynes connected through chromium-complexed aromatic rings is developed. The intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction occurs in a totally diastereoselective manner.
