Novel transition metal catalysts for intramolecular ene-reaction

We have designed a new class of MII-catalysts, namely molybdenum and tungsten (II) complexes of the type PhCH2(Et)3N+[M(CO)4C1Br2]- and M(CO)5(OTf)2 (M = Mo or W), which induce intramolecular cyclization of olefinic aldehydes to afford products with a cis-configuration at the newly formed chiral cen...
