title: Generation of molecular complexity from cyclooctatetraene using dienyliron and olefin metathesis methodology.
abstract: Transformation of the simple hydrocarbon cyclooctatetraene into a variety of polycyclic skeletons was achieved by sequential coordination to iron, reaction with electrophiles followed by allylated nucleophiles, decomplexation and olefin metathesis.
