Rh(I)-catalyzed regio- and stereospecific carbonylation of 1-(1-alkynyl)cyclopropyl ketones: a modular entry to highly substituted 5,6-dihydrocyclopenta[c]furan-4-ones.
Efficient route: A novel Rh(I)-catalyzed regio- and stereospecific carbonylation reaction of (1-alkynyl)cyclopropyl ketones by selective activation of a carbon-carbon sigma bond of the cyclopropane ring was demonstrated (see scheme). This method provides a general, efficient, stereoselective route to synthesise 1,3,5-trisubstituted and 1,3,5,6-tetrasubstituted 5,6-dihydrocyclopenta[c]furan-4-one with convertible functional groups.
