Enantioselective Construction of Bridged Multicyclic Skeletons: Intermolecular [2+2+2] Cycloaddition/Intramolecular Diels–Alder Reaction Cascade

Abstract

Bridging a gap: A cationic rhodium(I)/ligand complex catalyzes the title reaction of alkynes and amide-linked 1,5-dienes, leading to bridged multicyclic compounds, with high chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectivity (see scheme; Bn=benzyl).
