Nucleophilic addition reactions of bridged triene η6-chromiumtricarbonyl complexes
Abstract
The metal-mediated addition of a range of nucleophiles to several bridged η6-chromiumtricarbonyl complexes has been demonstrated for the first time. The reaction proceeds in regio- and stereoselective fashion and in fair to good yield. The new reaction was applied to the synthesis of an advanced intermediate towards anatoxin-a.
