Intermolecular Addition Reaction to Alkenes of Acylmolybdenum Complexes Generated by Oxidative Addition of Aryl or Alkenyl Halides with Molybdenum(0) Carbonyl Complexes
Acylmolybdenum species, generated by oxidativeaddition of aryl or alkenyl halides with molybdenum(0) carbonylcomplex followed by carbon monoxide insertion, added to various kinds of alkenes intermolecularly to give simple addition products in good yields without formation of carbonylative Heck-type products.
