Computational Insight Concerning Catalytic Decision Points of the Transition Metal Catalyzed [2 + 2 + 1] Cyclocarbonylation Reaction of Allenes
{{output}}
Rhodium and molybdenum catalyzed allenic [2 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition reactions give 4-alkylidene and α-alkylidene cylopentenones, respectively. The selective reaction of one double bond of the allene over another is controlled by the transition metal and not th... ...
