Cationic rhodium(I) complex-catalyzed cotrimerization of propargyl esters and arylacetylenes leading to substituted dihydropentalenes.
It has been established that a cationic rhodium(I)/cod complex catalyzes the cotrimerization of propargyl esters and arylacetylenes, leading to substituted dihydropentalenes, in the presence of excess cod through elimination of carboxylic acids.
