Abstract

The Pauson-Khand reaction (PKR) is a powerful means for the construction of cyclopentenones. However, its applications have been limited to the intramolecular version of this reaction because poor yield and regioselectivity are often the major problems in intermolecular PKR. Here we describe that a carbamate moiety in alkene substrate accelerates this intermolecular PKR. The reaction of N-4-dimethylaminophenyl O-allyl carbamate with alkyne-cobalt complex gave cyclopentenones in high yield (up to 90%) and regioselectivity (>9:1).
