Abstract

Mechanisms are proposed to explain these and two related ucts depending upon the value of n and upon the trans-substituent R. relatively stable cyclic r-alkenoylcobalt tricarbonyls are formed. tion leads mainly to 7r-allylcobalt tricarbonyl derivatives. and unsaturated cyclic ketones are formed along with cobalt hydrocarbonyl or octacarbonyl. alkosyacylcobalt tetracarbonyls behave similarly. reactions from the literature.
