Abstract

Several dienyl zirconocene derivatives were easily prepared, as unique geometrical isomers, from simple non-conjugated unsaturated enol ethers with (1-butene) ZrCp2 complexes. This new methodology is based on a tandem allylic CH bond activation- elimination sequence and the mechanism has been mapped out by deuterium labeling experiments. The stereochemical outcome of this process was determined by addition of ...
