Rh(II)-catalyzed skeletal reorganization of enynes involving selective cleavage of C-C triple bonds.
Treatment of enynes with a catalytic amount of Rh(II) complex results in skeletal reorganization to give cis-configured 1-vinylcycloalkenes, the formation of which occurs via double cleavage of both C-C double and C-C triple bonds.
