Cobalt-Catalyzed Arylative Cyclization of Acetylenic Esters and Ketones with Arylzinc Reagents through 1,4-Cobalt Migration by Yan, Jianming, Yoshikai, Naohiko

“…Recently, we reported a cobalt-catalyzed migratory arylzincation reaction of an alkyne that features alkenyl-to-aryl 1,4-cobalt migration and cobalt-to-zinc transmetalation as key steps. We report herein that the cobalt/arylzinc combination can also promote a cascade arylative cyclization reaction of alkynes bearing pendant ester or ketone moieties to afford benzo-fused cyclic ketone or alcohol products, respectively. …”
