51. As shown in Scheme 9 below, the penultimate intermediate in the Pauson-Khand reaction can undergo the normal reductive elimination to give cyclopentenone 26 or a β-elimination to give 27, perhaps assisted by complexation of the basic nitrogen to a cobalt atom. This hypothesis is supported by similar observations on zirconium-mediated [2 + 2 + 1] cycloadditions of related benzylamines: Ref. [6d] and J. Barluenga, R. Sanz, F. Fananas, Chem. Eur. J. 3 (1997) 1324-1336.

53. Without protection of the hydroxy group, the Pauson-Khand reaction proved very sluggish (19% yield) and was accompanied by a large amount of demetallated product (55% yield). For related observations, see: C. Mukai, J.S. Kim, M. Uchiyama, M. Hanaoka, Tetrahedron Lett. 39 (1998) 7909-7912.
