Rh^I-Catalyzed Cycloaddition between Allenyl π-Bonds and C-C Triple Bonds

Abstract

Cycloaddition and cycloisomerization based on the interaction between an allene and other π-components has enabled us to build a variety of useful cyclic frameworks. This account describes our recent research on the Rh^I-catalyzed cycloaddition and cycloisomerization of allene-alkyne derivatives.
