Abstract
AbstractControllable synthesis of a variety of allenic alcohols and 2,5‐dihydrofurans by rhodium(I)‐catalyzed arylative transformations of propargylic diols is reported. The hydroxorhodium catalyst was found to play dual role: it catalyzed the arylation/dehydroxylation reaction of propargylic diols to afford allenic alcohols, and besides, it could convert to a cationic rhodium species in situ, which catalyzed the intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of allenic alcohols to form dihydrofurans. Remarkably, generation of the cationic rhodium species is dependent on the arylboron reagent used. Thus, the controllable synthesis is achieved by simply changing the arylboron reagent.magnified image
