Abstract
A rhodium-catalyzed cycloisomerization and oxidation of tethered dienynes for the synthesis of indanes is described. An auxiliary fragmentation/olefination method (also described herein) provides novel access to tethered alkyne-dienoate substrates. The reported method circumvents current limitations in and expands the scope of inverse-demand Diels-Alder-type cycloadditions. Traditional discovery substrates involving malonate-, ether-, and sulfonamide-based tethers are problematic in the current methodology, underscoring the unique virtue of neopentylene-tethered substrates for reaction discovery.
