Abstract

A novel [5+1] type carbonylative cycloaddition reaction has been developed using a Rh complex as catalyst. This reaction can convert readily available 3-acyloxy-1,4-enynes and CO to a wide range of functionalized resorcinols in good yields. A mechanism involving Rh-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of 3-acyloxy-1,4-enynes accompanied by a 1,2-acyloxy shift is proposed for the present [5+1] type cycloaddition reaction.
