I. Ojima et al., SILYLCARBOBICYCLIZATION OF 1,6-DIYNES - A NOVEL CATALYTIC ROUTE TO BICYCLO[3.3.0]OCTENONES, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(25), 1994, pp. 7594-7595
The reactions of 1,6-alkadiynes with tert-butyldimethylsilane under ca
rbon monoxide pressure catalyzed by Rh(acac)(CO)(2), Rh(2)Coa(CO)(12),
or Rh(C=NBu(t))(4)-Cc(CO)(4) give the corresponding bicyclo[3.3.0]oct
enones in good to excellent yields via novel silylcarbobicyclization p
rocess.
