The intermolecular Pauson-Khand reactions of ethyl trans-2-phenylethyn
ylcyclopropanecarboxylate (1t) and [amino hynylcyclopropyl)methylidene
]pentacarbonylchromium (9) with norbornene lead to ester and metal car
bene functionalized exo-tricyclodecenones 3-6 and 13-16, respectively,
in moderate to high yields. The incorporation of the alkyne is modera
tely regioselective but less diastereoselective. Pairs of diastereomer
s are isolated after column chromatography, which can subsequently be
separated by recrystallization. The minor diastereomer 3 and the major
diastereomer 15 are characterized by X-ray structure analysis.
