Directing Group Enhanced Carbonylative Ring Expansions of Amino-Substituted Cyclopropanes: Rhodium-Catalyzed Multicomponent Synthesis of N‑Heterobicyclic Enones

Aminocyclopropanes equipped with suitable N-directing groups undergo efficient and regioselective Rh-catalyzed carbonylative C–C bond activation. Trapping of the resultant metallacycles with tethered alkynes provides an atom-economic entry to diverse N-heterobicyclic enones. These studies provide a blueprint for myriad N-heterocyclic methodologies
