Abstract

Nitronate anions react with (r-ally1) cobdt complexes produced from the acylation of l, &dienes by acetylcobdt tetracarbonyl to produce nitro enones. With sterically hindered nitronates or (r-ally1) cobalt species, elimination to form the dienone is a competing process. Allenes undergo a similar process.
