title: Rhodium-catalyzed carbonylative [3 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of alkyne-tethered alkylidenecyclopropanes to phenols in the presence of carbon monoxide.
abstract: A novel Rh-catalyzed carbonylative [3 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of alkyne-tethered alkylidenecyclopropanes for the facile synthesis of bicyclic phenols in high yields has been developed. The reaction tolerated carbon and heteroatoms in the tether.
