Abstract
AbstractA low‐valent cobalt(I) complex, formed from the reduction of CoBr2(dppe) with zinc, acts as catalyst for the efficient [2+4] cycloaddition of β‐alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl substituted propiolates to dienes. This transformation yields synthetically relevant 1,4‐cyclohexadiene carboxylates in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the target compounds are novel lead structures for the discovery of fragrance ingredients from the fruity, floral and spicy odor family.
