Gg. Melikyan et al., A NOVEL AND EFFICIENT SYNTHESIS OF CYCLIC AND ACYCLIC 1,5-ALKADIYNES BY SELECTIVE COUPLING OF CO-2(CO)(6)-COMPLEXED PROPARGYL RADICALS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(3), 1994, pp. 363-366
Intra- and intermolecular coupling reactions of Co-2(CO)(6)-complexed
propargyl radicals have been realized providing cyclic and acyclic 1,5
-alkadiynes in moderate yield and moderate to good diastereoselectivit
y (44-80%).
