title: The synthesis and chemoselective reactivity of 3-aminocyclopentadienones
abstract: Iron and cobalt complexes of 3-aminocyclopentadienones have been synthesized from the [2 + 2 + 1] cycloadditions of nitrogen acetylenes and pendant alkynes. Following decomplexation, the resulting 3-aminocyclopentadienones have been subjected to chemo- and regioselective cycloadditions with dienophiles and heterodienes.
