Rhodium-Catalyzed Olefin Isomerization/Allyl Claisen Rearrangement/Intramolecular Hydroacylation Cascade

Abstract

It has been established that a cationic Rh(I)/dppf complex catalyzes the olefin isomerization/allyl Claisen rearrangement/intramolecular hydroacylation cascade of di(allyl) ethers to produce substituted cyclopentanones in good yields under mild conditions
