A novel chromium(0)-promoted four-component cycloaddition reaction.
[formula: see text] Reaction of (eta 6-thiepin-1,1-dioxide)tricarbonylchromium(0) with excess terminal alkynes under photoactivation conditions affords novel pentacyclic adducts formally derived from a sequential [6 pi + 2 pi]/[6 pi + 2 pi]/[2 sigma + 2 pi] cycloaddition process.
