Catalytic Intermolecular Pauson - Khand Reactions in Supercritical Ethylene
摘要:
Ethylene is not only a substrate, but also a solvent: Catalytic intermolecular Pauson - Khand reactions of terminal alkynes were carried out in supercritical ethylene to provide 2-substituted cyclopentenones in moderate to high yields [Eq. (1)]. Under these conditions, even a low pressure of CO (5 atm) is sufficient for the reaction to take place.
