Abstract
The cobalt-catalyzed cyclization of certain acyclic enediene substrates proceeds stereoselectively to afford substituted divinyl cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes in good yield. A variation, involving a substrate wherein a suitably disposed alkyne separates the reacting alkene and 1,3-diene partners, affords a novel cascade cyclization product.
