title: Rhodium-catalysed arylative annulation of 1,4-enynes with arylboronic acids.
abstract: The rhodium(I)-catalysed arylative annulation of 1,4-enynes with arylboronic acids was investigated. The reaction was found to proceed via an addition-1,4-rhodium migration-addition sequence, affording the corresponding 1,1-disubstituted 3-(arylmethylene)indanes.
