Abstract

Applications of 1, 3, 5-hexatriene derivatives in atom-economic cobalt-catalyzed transformations, such as the Diels–Alder reaction with alkynes, the 1, 4-hydrovinylation reaction with terminal alkenes, and the 1, 4-hydrohexatrienylation reaction, are investigated. In all cases, regioselective transformations were found to generate cyclic derivatives such as stilbenes or acyclic products with a high control of the double bond geometry in the ...
