CYCLIZATION OF CARBONYL SUBSTITUTED ENYNE-ALLENES - C-2-C-6-CYCLIZATION INDUCED BY HEAT OR BY ADDITION OF SAMARIUM(II) IODIDE, SAMARIUM(III) CHLORIDE, OR BORON-TRIFLUORIDE

Under a variety of conditions the reaction of enyne-allenes with carbo
nyl substituents at the allene and phenyl or t-butyl groups at the alk
yne terminus afforded products via the new C-2-C-6-cyclization. Produc
ts of the Myers-Saito-cyclization were not detected. (C) 1998 Elsevier
