Cobalt(I)-Catalyzed [6π + 2π] Cycloaddition of 1,2-Dienes and 1,3-Diynes to N-Carbocholesteroxyazepine in the Synthesis of Previously Undescribed Heterofunctional 9-Azabicyclo[4.2.1]nonadi(tri)enes.

Promising heterofunctional (E)-9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4-dienes (79-92%) and 9-azabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4,7-trienes (77-90%) containing a cholesterol fragment in the structure have been synthesized for the first time through the [6π + 2π] cycloaddition reaction of terminal 1,2-dienes and symmetric 1,3-diynes with N-carbocholesteroxyazepine under the action of the Co(acac)2(dppe)/Zn/ZnI2 three-component catalytic system.
