Abstract

Transition metal‐catalyzed [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization is a powerful method to synthesize substituted benzene derivatives with optimal atom efficiency. However, controlling regio‐ and chemoselectivity is difficult. We present a cobalt catalyzed cycloaddition of alkynes, which provides the cycloaddition products in high yields and excellent regioselectivity in the presence of a pyridine‐2,6‐diimine ligand.
