title: Rhodium-catalyzed one-pot intermolecular [2 + 2 + 2] trimerization/asymmetric intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of two aryl ethynyl ethers and 5-alkynals.
abstract: It has been established that a cationic Rh(I)/(R)-H(8)-BINAP complex catalyzes the one-pot intermolecular [2 + 2 + 2] trimerization/asymmetric intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of two aryl ethynyl ethers and 5-alkynals to produce annulated 1,4-cyclohexadienes possessing two stereogenic centers.
