Abstract

Under chelation assistance, rhodium(III) complexes can catalyze the redox-neutral coupling of arenes with 7-oxabenzonorbornadienes and the oxidative coupling of arenes with 7-azabenzonorbornadienes (see scheme; Cp*=C5Me5). A seven-membered rhodacycle containing a RhC(alkyl) bond has been established as the key intermediate.
