Synthesis and reactivity of tantalum and tungsten alkyne complexes: Models for alkyne cyclization.

Intermediates in the cyclization reaction of alkynes have been isolated using the group 5 tantalum phenoxide reagents, Ta(DIPP)₂Cl₃(OEt₂) and Ta(DIPP)₃Cl₂(OEt₂) (DIPP = O-2,6-C₆H₃-i-Pr₂). The extent of cyclization has been effected by controlling the sterics at the metal center or the alkyne itself....
