Abstract
Readily available o-vinylphenols undergo a formal (5 + 2) cycloaddition to alkynes when treated with catalytic amounts of [Cp*RhCl2]2 and Cu(OAc)2. The reaction, which involves the cleavage of the terminal C-H bond of the alkenyl moiety, generates highly valuable benzoxepine skeletons in a practical, versatile, and atom-economical manner. Using carbon monoxide instead of an alkyne as reaction partner leads to coumarin products which formally result from a (5 + 1) cycloaddition.Entities:
