Abstract
A rhodium(I)-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition between alkenyl isocyanates and alkynes has been developed. Heating a mixture of an alkenyl isocyanate and a symmetrical internal alkyne in the presence of [Rh(ethylene)2Cl]2/P(4-OMe-C6H4)3 in toluene delivers substituted indolizinones and quinolizinones. Depending on the substrates, a rare fragmentation of the isocyanate unit can be involved within the cycloaddition process to furnish a vinylogous amide embedded in the indolizinone.Entities:
