Protonation of (1,1-diphenyl-2-propyn-1-ol)Co-2(CO)(6) with HBF4 in dichloromethane generates the expected metal-stabilized propargyl cation, and also rearranges to give the tricobalt cluster Ph2C=CH-CCo3(CO)(9) 9. In contrast, use of THF as solvent affords the radical (Co-2(CO)(6))[HCdropC-CPh2.] 2, which dimerizes at the methyne position; subsequent cyclization and carbonylation yields 2,5-bis-(diphenylmethylene)-3-cyclopentenone 11. The products have been characterized by X-ray crystallography, and the scope and mechanism of the reaction are discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
