Abstract

A range of novel intramolecular cyclisation reactions between an organocobalt stabilised cation and a trisubstituted alkene have been accomplished that provide a concise route for the diastereoselective synthesis of a range of functionalised benzopyrans. In addition to the usual Lewis acids employed in the Nicholas
