An efficient cobalt(I)-catalysed home Diels-Alder reaction of acyclic 1,3-dienes and acetylene derivatives is described. The catalyst system consists of a mixture of a readily available CoBr2(dppe) complex, zinc iodide as a cocatalyst, and tetrabutylammonium borohydride as reducing agent. This system increases the reactivity of the cobalt(I) catalyst, so that acyclic dienes and acetylenes can be transformed to the 1,4-dihydroaromatic products in good yield and excellent purity. The regioselectivity of the home Diels-Alder reaction greatly favours the 1,4-substitution pattern of the formed product. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
