Synthesis and conversions of metallocycles. 8. Regioselective β-hydrovinylation of α-olefins with the participation of metallocomplex catalysts

A new method is proposed for the synthesis of 2-vinylalkanes by the reactions of aluminocyclopentanes with allyl halides or ethers in presence of catalytic amounts of nickel or cobalt complexes.For previous communication, see [1].Institute of Chemistry, Bashkir Scientific Center, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 450054 Ufa.
