Abstract

Reactions of zirconocene-alkene complexes with aldehydes gave alcohols as coupling products after hydrolysis. The carbon-carbon bond formation proceeded at C1 carbon of alkenes, in sharp contrast to the reactions of alkene-alkene coupling on zirconium. A similar alcohol was also obtained by the reaction of zirconacyclopentane with aldehyde after hydrolysis. Treatment of (C 5 Me 5) 2 ZrEt 2 with styrene gave 2-phenylbutane after ...
