Abstract

Three become one: The cationic rhodium(I) complex [Rh(cod)2]BF4 catalyzes the [2+2+1] cross-cyclotrimerization of silylacetylenes and two alkynyl esters, leading to substituted silylfulvenes (see scheme; cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene). The reductive complexation of the silylfulvene product with RhCl3 in EtOH furnished the corresponding dinuclear electron-deficient cyclopentadienyl rhodium(III) complex.
