title: 2,5-Dialkyl cyclohexenones by Fe(CO)5-mediated carbonylation of alkenyl cyclopropanes: functional group compatibility.
abstract: The preparation of alkenyl cyclopropanes 1 with a variety of common organic functionalities is reported. These substrates were subjected to the Fe(CO)(5)-mediated carbonylation process under a CO atmosphere, leading to the formation of 2,5-disubstituted cyclohexenones 2, important intermediates for target-directed synthesis.
