Tungsten-mediated syntheses, skeletal rearrangement and synthetic applications of η1-2,5-dihydro-3-furanyl rings
Abstract
The syntheses, acid-catalysed rearrangements and demetallation chemistry of CpW(CO)3(η1-[graphic omitted]H2)(R = CHCH2, CCPh; R1= alkyl, phenyl; Cp = C5H5) are reported, and their synthetic-utility in organic reactions is demonstrated.
