T. Takahashi et al., REACTION OF ZIRCONOCENE ETHYLENE COMPLEX WITH DIYNES - FORMATION OF BRIDGED ZIRCONACYCLOPENTENES, Chemistry Letters, (5), 1995, pp. 347-348
Reactions of diynes RCC-X-CCR with zirconocene ethylene complex Cp(2)Z
r(CH2=CH2) were investigated. When X was C6H4 or C4H2S, bridged zircon
acyclopentenes were selectively formed. They were easily converted int
o bridged cyclopentenone derivatives. In the case of (CH2)(n) groups a
s X, the reaction products were strongly dependent on the R group.
