Hl. Stokes et al., PREPARATION AND DIELS-ALDER REACTIONS OF (1,3-DIENYL) AND (1,2-DIENYL)COBALOXIME COMPLEXES, Organometallics, 14(12), 1995, pp. 5520-5532
The synthesis and characterization (including crystallographic data) o
f several cobaloxime-substituted 1,3- and 1,2-dienes are reported here
. Diels-Alder reactions of some of the 1,3-dienyl complexes are then r
eported along with reactions which demonstrate that the cobalt-carbon
bonds in the Diels-Alder cycloadducts can be cleaved so that cobalt co
mplexes as well as functionalized organic cycloadducts are recovered.
