Gen eral Procedure for th e Com plexation of Diacetylaren es (1–4)
A solution of th e correspon din g diacetylaren e (3 m m ol) an d Cr(CO)6 (0.66 g, 3 m m ol) in
decah ydron aph th alen e (≈70 m l) un der Ar was h eated at reflux at bath tem perature of 265 °C
(
Wood m etal bath ) with a catalytic am oun t of eth yl form ate (1 m l). Followin g th e evolution

of a calculated am oun t of CO (≈200 cm ), th e reaction m ixture was cooled to room tem pera-
ture, filtered th rough a pad of silica gel, wash ed with h exan e (rem ovin g decah ydro-

Gen eral Procedure for th e Preparation of Dioxolan es from th e Corespon din g Aldeh ydes
A solution of a dialdeh yde (10 m m ol), eth ylen e glycol (1.3 m l, 22 m m ol, 1.1 equivalen t)
an d a catalytic am oun t of 4-m eth ylben zen e-1-sulfon ic acid (5 m g) in ben zen e (20 m l) was
h eated at reflux un der a con den ser equipped with th e Dean –Stark trap for 15 h . Th e reac-
tion m ixture was cooled to room tem perature, wash ed with 5% NaOH solution an d th e wa-
ter layer extracted with ben zen e (20 m l). Th e com bin ed organ ic layers were dried over
an h ydrous K CO , an d th e solven t evaporated. Th e residue was purified as described below.
