Abstract
Our research group was the first to discover that cationic rhodium(I)/BINAP-type bisphosphine complexes are versatile new catalysts for highly chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective [2+2+2] cycloadditions. The high chemo- and regioselectivity of these cycloadditions enabled efficient catalytic synthesis of substituted benzenes, cyclophanes, and nitrogen heterocycles. Furthermore, enantioselective variants of these cycloadditions were also developed that realized efficient catalytic constructions of axial, planar, central, and spiro chirality.
