A. Llebaria et Jm. Moreto, THE [NI(CO)4]-PROMOTED CARBONYLATIVE CYCLOADDITION OF ALKYNES AND ALLYL HALIDES FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF 2-CYCLOPENTENONE DERIVATIVES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 451(1-2), 1993, pp. 1-13
The [Ni(CO)4]-mediated carbonylative cycloaddition of alkynes and ally
l halides first reported by Chiusoli, has been reviewed, extended and
optimized for application to cyclopentenone synthesis. An insight into
the reaction mechanism is also given to explain the results obtained,
in particular the regio- and stereo-chemistry of the process.
