Abstract

The preparation of C 2 symmetric 2, 3-dibenzobicyclo [2.2. 2] octanedione dioxime is reported. This ligand is then used in the preparation of a (pyridine)(glyoxime) 2cobalt (III) chloride complex. The chloride is reduced to a cobaloxime anion which reacted with allenic electrophiles to produce (pyridine)(glyoxime) 2cobalt-1, 3-dienyl complexes. Thermal and Lewis acid catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of these dienyl complexes as well as the ...
