title: Rhodium-Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of 2-Silylethynyl Phenols and Anilines via 1,2-Silicon Migration.
abstract: It has been established that a cationic rhodium(I)/BINAP complex catalyzes the cycloisomerization of 2-silylethynylphenols, leading to 3-silylbenzofurans, via 1,2-silicon migration. Similarly, the cycloisomerization of 2-silylethynylanilines, leading to 3-silylindoles, via 1,2-silicon migration was catalyzed by a cationic rhodium(I)/H8-BINAP complex.
