Vollhardt, K P.C.

This report describes efforts to develop transition-metal-catalyzed acetylene cyclization as an attractive and versatile synthetic tool. Syntheses of indans, tetralins, anthraquinones, benzocyclobutenes, polycycles and heterocycles are discussed. In particular, cobalt-catalyzed cyclooligomerization of acetylenes is described with a brief discussion of reaction mechanisms. (DDA)
