Abstract

Under nickel catalysis, 1,3,8-nonatrienes and 1,3,9-deca­trienes 3 react at room temperature with dimethylzinc and acetone at the alkene and diene termini, respectively, providing 1,2-disubstituted cycloalkanes 4 in good yield. The stereoselectivities of 4 provide useful information about the mechanistic frameworks for the present reaction and related cyclization reaction of ω-dienynes 1.

Keywords
