A synthesis of 3-ylidenephthalides with high practicality and efficiency, using benzoic acids and alkynyl chlorides as substrate, was realized by the rhodium catalysis. The utilization of alkynyl chlorides enabled this reaction has advantages of broad substrates scope, mild reaction condition, high selectivity and yields.
