The Nakamura reaction using a cationic cobalt(iii) complex, [Cp*Co(CH<sub>3</sub>CN)<sub>3</sub>][SbF<sub>6</sub>]<sub>2</sub> as the catalyst under neutral and aerobic conditions at 110 °C has been described. In solution, the complex is expected to lose a hemilabile acetonitrile ligand to produce a highly electron-deficient cobalt(iii) center, and the Lewis acidic nature of the cobalt center has been exploited for the enolization of the dicarbonyl compounds. The reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compo ...[more]
