Two adjacent stereogenic centres and a pendant alkene were constructed via nucleophilic addition of a 1,3-dioxan-4-ylcopper(I) reagent to a cationic eta3-allylmolybdenum complex as part of a synthesis of (2E,5S,6R,7E)-6-methyl-8-phenylocta-2,7-dienoic acid, a key component of the Cryptophycins. Oxidative addition of Mo(CO)(4)(THF)(2) to allyl benzoates provides an efficient synthesis of eta3-allylmolybdenum(dicarbonyl) complexes.
