Chromium(0)-promoted [6pi + 2pi] cycloadditions of allenes with cycloheptatriene.
Photoinitiated [6pi + 2pi] cycloadditions of allenes with (eta(6)-cycloheptatriene)tricarbonylchromium(0) (1) are described. An example of asymmetric induction obtained by reaction of 1 with a chiral 1,3-disubstituted allene is also reported.
