Construction of tetracyclic ring systems by Co₂(CO)₈-catalyzed tandem [2 + 2 + 1]/[2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of diynes: a simple one-pot reaction†

Abstract

The Co₂(CO)₈-catalyzed tandem [2 + 2 + 1]/[2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of terminal diynes under CO produces an unnatural novel tetracyclic compound.
