Isolation and direct observation of intramolecular hydroacylation of a cis-hydridopent-4-enoylrhodium(III) complex
Abstract
A stable cis-hydridopentenoylrhodium(III) trimethylphosphine complex, isolated from oxidative addition of pent-4-enal to RhCl(PMe3)3, undergoes intramolecular hydroacylation to cyclopentanone.
