Abstract
The cobalt-catalysed [6+2] cycloaddition of cycloheptatriene with internal alkynes as well as with terminal alkenes is described. The cycloaddition process is most efficiently catalysed by cobalt dibromide[bis(triisopropylphosphite)] complexes in dichloromethane as the solvent of choice. In the cobalt-catalysed reaction of cycloheptatriene with norbornene an unexpected tricyclic [2+2] cycloaddition product was isolated in excellent yields.
