“…Interestingly, the “ para ” product was obtained with high regioselectivity when the ligand was 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), while the “ meta ” product was selectively formed with the imine ligand ( E )-2,4,6-trimethyl- N -(pyridine-2-ylmethylene)aniline (Scheme ) . Besides this, the catalyst obtained from CoBr 2 (dppe) by reduction with Zn/ZnI 2 was shown to efficiently catalyze also other transformations, including 1,4-hydrovinylations, − [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions, , Alder-en reactions, − [4 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions, [2 + 2] cycloadditions, homo-Diels–Alder reactions, , isomerizations of 1,3-dienes, Glaser couplings, and benzannulations of conjugated enynes …”
