Light induced catalytic intramolecular hydrofunctionalization of allylphenols mediated by porphyrin rhodium(iii) complexes†
Abstract
Catalytic intramolecular hydrofunctionalization of allylphenols to heterocyclic compounds mediated by rhodium(III) porphyrin complexes was described. The Wacker-type intermediate β-heterocyclic alkyl rhodium complex was independently synthesized and crystallized.
