Starting from sodium carbomethoxycyclopentadienide, diphenylacetylene, and
chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)cobalt(I), the title compound mas obtained in
four steps and 47% overall yield. On reaction with Pd(OAc)(2), a single cy
clopalladated diastereoisomer of (S)-(pR) configuration was isolated in 72%
yield.
