title: Synthesis of 1-oxadecalins from anisole promoted by tungsten.
abstract: The complex TpW(NO)(PMe3)(eta(2)-anisole) is combined with acrolein or methyl vinyl ketone and various nucleophiles to generate novel chromen complexes. These complexes may be further elaborated by protonation and nucleophilic addition to generate chroman analogues with increased saturation and stereocenters. Treatment with various oxidants effects the decomplexation of the chromen.
