A new higher-order cyclization reaction of alkenyl Fischer carbene complexes is described. Chromium and tungsten alkenyl Fischer carbene complexes react toward 8-methoxyheptafulvene through an all-carbon formal [8 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with complete regio- and stereoselectivity. Tetrahydroazulene compounds bearing four consecutive stereocenters are generated. The reaction mechanism is rationalized based on computational calculations. It was found that this transformation proceeds through a concerted process. The nature of the observed stereo- and regioselectivity can be attributed to both steric and electronic factors. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016.
