六羰鉻與芐基醇在正丁醚和四氫夫喃(10:1)溶液中加熱迴流，生成(η6- 卞基醇) 三羰鉻錯合物。(η6- 芐基醇) 三羰鉻錯合物經濃鹽酸處理，可得(η6- 芐基醇) 三羰鉻錯合物。各種胺基酸衍生物與(η6- 芐基醇) 三羰鉻錯合物進行親核取代反應，得到含有胺基酸衍生物的三羰鉻錯合物。在攝氏零度下，含胺基酸衍生物的三羰鉻錯合
物與六甲基二矽胺化鋰作用，進行分子內環化反應。當以碘氧化終止反應時，可得含氮雙環化合物─1,2,3,4-四氫異奎林；當以三氟醋酸終止反應，再加碘氧化後，可生成含氮並環雙環[4.4.0] 雙烯化合物。
帶酮基之環庚三烯三羰鉻錯合物與二碘化釤，進行分子內自由基環化反應，生成單一非鏡像異構物的並環雙環[5.3.0] 雙烯化合物。

Part 1 Benzyl alcohol chromium tricarbonyl complex was prepared in 97% yieldby treatment of chromiun hexacarbonyl and benzyl alcohol in dibutyl ether/tetrahydrofuran (10:1) under nitrogen.
Reaction of benzyl alcohol chromiumtricarbonyl with concentrated hydrochloric acid gave benzyl chloride chromiumtricarbonyl (75%). The Nucleophilic substitution reaction of a variety ofamino acid derivatives with benzyl chloride chromium tricarbonyl generatedchromium complexes with an amino acid derivative at benzyl position . Intramolecular cyclization of the complex using lithium hexamethyldisilazide followed by oxidation with iodine led to fused N-containing bicyclic products.
Part 2 Intramolecular radical cyclization of chromium
(η6-cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene)complexes bearing a keto
functionality proceeded nicely in the presence samarium iodide (SmI2) to give bicyclic alcohol derivatives with
extremediastereoselectivity.
