Abstract
Applications of 1,3,5-hexatriene derivatives in atom-economic cobalt-catalyzed transformations, such as the Diels-Alder reaction with alkynes, the 1,4-hydrovinylation reaction with terminal alkenes, and the 1,4-hydrohexatrienylation reaction, are investigated. In all cases, regioselective transformations were found to generate cyclic derivatives such as stilbenes or acyclic products with a high control of the double bond geometry in the skipped trienes derived from the 1,4-hydrovinylation process or the tetraenes generated in the so far unprecedented 1,4-hydrohexatrienylation reaction.
