4.0 Synthesis and Use <strong>of</strong> Amino-Acid Derived Cyclopentenones<br />

4.1 Transition Metal Catalyzed Cyclocarbonylation – Pauson-Khand Reaction<br />

The cocyclization <strong>of</strong> an alkyne, alkene and carbon monoxide to form a cyclopentenone<br />

(217) constitutes a formal [2+2+1] cycloaddition and was first described by Pauson and Khand<br />

in 1973 (Scheme 4.1). 142 Since then, the Pauson-Khand reaction has become one <strong>of</strong> the most<br />

convenient methods for synthesis <strong>of</strong> cyclopentenones, which are synthetically important class <strong>of</strong><br />

molecules. 143 The initial reaction conditions utilized a stoichiometric amount <strong>of</strong><br />

dicobaltoctacarbonyl (Co2(CO)8) to effect the intermolecular reaction <strong>of</strong> an alkyne and an alkene.<br />
