Abstract

Acetylenic α-diazoketones 1, when treated with catalytic rhodium carboxylate dimer and diallylsulfide (1.1 equiv), undergo sequential alkyne insertion/ylide formation/sigmatropic rearrangement to give γ-allylthio cyclic enones. This transformation was used to probe the influence of alkyne substituents on 5-exo vs. 6-endo cyclization selectivity in the alkyne insertion event.
