Abstract

Seven-membered metallacyclic allene compounds, 1-zirconacyclohepta-2,3,6-trienes, were synthesized by intermolecular coupling between alkynes and 1-en-3-ynes on a zirconium atom. X-ray diffraction studies and NMR spectroscopic observation indicated their seven-membered structures, although the contribution from 2-alkynyl-1-zirconacyclopent-4-ene might be considered. Benzyne, an unstable alkyne, also coupled with 1-en-3-ynes on zirconium and titanium.
