title: Rhodium-catalyzed multicomponent-coupling reactions involving a carborhodation-cross-coupling sequence.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A rhodium-catalyzed multicomponent-coupling reaction has been developed that involves a cross-coupling with organohalides as part of the reaction sequence. Through several experiments toward mechanistic investigations, it has also been demonstrated that the reaction most likely proceeds via a carborhodation-oxidative addition-reductive elimination pathway, which clearly contrasts to the corresponding palladium-catalyzed processes.
