Abstract

The carbonylative skeleton rearrangement of 1,4 enynes tethered by a cyclopropane group proceeded smoothly in the presence of [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ under CO atmosphere to give the corresponding 1,2,4,5,6,7-hexahydrocyclopenta[a]inden-3(3bH)-one derivatives in moderate yields.

Key words

rhodium(I) - carbonylation - skeleton rearrangement - 1,4-enyne - cyclopropane

It has been reported that electron-deficient CO or phosphine ligands were critical to increase the π-acidity of the rhodium center, see:

19a Huang S, Li X, Lin CL, Guzeic IA, Tang W. Chem. Commun. 2012; 48: 2204
19b Shu X.-Z, Shu D, Schienebeck CM, Tang W. Chem. Soc. Rev. 2012; 41: 7698

Phosphine ligands have great influence on rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation and decarbonylation and a π-acidic phosphine ligand can promote decarbonylation in some cases, see:

19c Chen P.-H, Xu T, Dong G. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014; 53: 1674
19d Xu T, Savage NA, Dong G. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014; 53: 1891 ; however, concerning about that phosphine ligands have no effect in our current reaction, the reason is still not clear at the present stage

20 The crystal data of 2a have been deposited in CCDC with number 906119.
21 There is still another mechanism that can explain the formation of product 2a. However, this mechanism involves the formation of a very strained intermediate, which makes this mechanism seems less possible (Scheme 3).
