Abstract

Unsaturated cycloalkanes are an integral part of many natural products and their preparation is of permanent interest in organic synthesis. One important method under the conditions of homogeneous catalysis concerns the (atom economically) interesting cycloisomerisation1 of alkynes2 and 1,3-dienes.3 In this context, the cycloisomerisation of 1,6- dienes (diallylmalonates, eg 1) described by Grigg and coworkers4 has been shown to lead to unsaturated five-membered rings ...
