The preparation of delta-substituted epsilon-acetylenic beta-ketoesters is
fully described. Their cobalt-mediated Conia-ene reactions led to variously
functionalized methylenecyclopentanes in high yields and with a moderate c
ontrol of the 1,4 diastereoselectivity. A sequence involving the cobalt-med
iated ene and Pauson-Khand reactions is presented and allowed the construct
ion of the angular triquinane framework. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
