Treatment of Cp2ZrCl2 with 2 equiv of EtMgBr in THF, followed by addition of an internal alkyne and subsequent treatment with CO/I-2 gave alpha,beta-disubstituted cyclopentenone in good to high yields. When a conjugated enyne was used as an alkyne component, alpha-alkenyl cyclopentenone was selectively formed in 80-89% yields. In the case of 4,6-decadiyne, alpha-alkynylcyclopentenone was formed in 88% yield. Bridged alkynes such as 1,4-dihexynytbenzene afforded alpha alpha'-bridged cyclopentenone compounds in good yields.
