title: Highly selective cobalt-mediated [6 + 2] cycloaddition of cycloheptatriene and allenes.
abstract: [6 + 2] Cycloadditions between cycloheptatrienes with allenes have been investigated. Cobalt salts were found to promote this transformation efficiently. Moreover, this reaction was found to be highly selective since only one regioisomer was obtained with an excellent E/Z-selectivity.
