Abstract
A rhodium catalyst induced ring opening of benzocyclobutenols with selective cleavage of the C(sp(2))-C(sp(3)) bond adjacent to the hydroxyl group. The site-selectivity markedly contrasted with that of their thermal ring-opening reaction. The rhodium-catalyzed ring opening led to the development of a new alkyne insertion reaction constructing a dihydronaphthalene framework.
