Abstract

A highly efficient CoI 2 /o-phenanthroline catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of diynes bearing TBS protected propargylic alcohol fragments with nitriles has been developed. This methodology offers regioselective access, with good functional group tolerance, to various indeno[2,1-c]pyridine derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. It was found that o-phenanthroline as a bidentate nitrogen ligand showed high efficacy in this cycloaddition reaction.
