title: Mild rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-H activation and intermolecular annulation with allenes.
abstract: All(enes) great! A novel Rh(III)-catalyzed oxidative coupling with allenes under mild conditions provides heterocycles with exocyclic double bonds. This reaction features low catalyst loadings, high regio- and stereoselectivity, and excellent substrate scope. The products were derivatized and preliminary mechanistic studies were conducted.
