Fig. 7: Preliminary examples of cis-3,6-disubstituted cyclohexene complexes prepared from an η2-allyl complex and various nucleophiles.

Nucleophilic reagents include TMSCF3 (29D), trimethylsilylacetylene/BuLi (30D), BnMgCl (32D), methyl trimethylsilyl dimethylketene acetal (31D), morpholine (33D), and MeOH/KOH (34D).
