(Chemical Equation Presented) Come on allene: Commercially available [Re2(CO)10] as a catalyst provides five-membered carbocycles in moderate to excellent yields with high stereoselectivity (see scheme). The configuration at each of the three sp3 carbon centers of the ring is defined. The reaction proceeds at the β, γ, and adjacent methylene positions of the allene; previously, similar reactions usually occurred at the α, β, and γ positions of the allene.
