Abstract

Reductive decomplexation of acetylenebiscobalthexa-carbonyl is best achieved with tri-n-butyltin hydride. Instead of this toxic reagent, sodium hypophosphite monohydrate has proved to be a safe, effective, and economical reagent for such a reductive decomplexation of biscobalthexacarbonyl acetylenes into the corresponding cis-olefins.

Key words

acetylenebiscobalthexacarbonyl - sodium hypophosphite - reductive decomplexation - Nicholas reaction - ciguatoxin

A reductive decomplexation of 24 with n-Bu₃SnH was successful to give 33, which was trans-olefin. A possible mechanism is shown below (Figure [2] ).
