Abstract
The first asymmetric intermolecular cobalt-catalyzed Pauson–Khand reaction is described. The use of the hemilabile CamPHOS ligand provides good conversions and selectivity up to 28 % ee. The catalytic process was studied by in situ FT-IR and it was found that both bridged and non-bridged complexes were present in the reaction mixture. Our results suggest that recognition between the alkyne substrate and the ligand is essential to attain stereocontrol in the catalytic cyclization.
