COPPER-CATALYZED INTERMOLECULAR [4-COUPLING AND [4+5]-COUPLING OF ZIRCONACYCLOPENTADIENES WITH BIS(HALOMETHYL)ARENES - A NEW PATHWAY TO 8-MEMBERED AND 9-MEMBERED RING DERIVATIVES(4])
T. Takahashi et al., COPPER-CATALYZED INTERMOLECULAR [4-COUPLING AND [4+5]-COUPLING OF ZIRCONACYCLOPENTADIENES WITH BIS(HALOMETHYL)ARENES - A NEW PATHWAY TO 8-MEMBERED AND 9-MEMBERED RING DERIVATIVES(4]), Organometallics, 17(18), 1998, pp. 3841-3843
Zirconacyclopentadienes reacted with 1,2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene and 1
,8-bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene in the presence of a catalytic amount o
f CuCl (10 mol %) to afford highly substituted eight-membered and nine
-membered ring compounds in. high yields, respectively.
