Df. Taber et Se. Stiriba, SYNTHESIS OF NATURAL-PRODUCTS BY RHODIUM-MEDIATED INTRAMOLECULAR C-H INSERTION, Chemistry (Weinheim), 4(6), 1998, pp. 990-992
Rh-mediated intramolecular C-H insertion allows the direct constructio
n of carbon - carbon bonds at previously unactivated centers. The natu
ral product syntheses described here highlight the strategic advantage
s and efficiencies this reaction offers.
