G. Tewes et al., STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF 2-EXO-FUNCTIONALIZED BICYCLO[3.2.1]OCT-3-EN-8-ONES BY IRON-MEDIATED CARBONYLATION OF BICYCLO[4.1.0]HEPT-2-ENES, Tetrahedron, 52(15), 1996, pp. 5449-5460
Iron carbonyl complexes of type 5, generated by the addition of tricar
bonyl iron to the vinylcyclopropane subunit of bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-2-en
es 4, can be converted to bicyclo[3.2.1]octenones 6 via carbonylative
decomplexation. Treatment of syn-substituted complexes 5 with CO (200
bar) at elevated temperatures (120 degrees C) yields functionalized ke
tones of type 6 with retention of the predetermined stereochemistry. C
