(0) complex 2 with Ph(3)C(+)PE(6)(-) regiospecifically provided the ti
tle compound 3 in excellent yield. Cationic complex 3 could react with
a variety of nucleophiles in good yield. Hard nucleophiles prefer to
attack at the C-l position, whereas soft and hindered nucleophiles fav
or attack at the C-5 position. Some synthetic applications were also s
tudied.
