A novel chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) mediated intramolecular C–C bond forming reaction

Abstract

A novel Wilkinson’s catalyst-mediated carbon–carbon bond forming reaction is described which is exemplified by the synthesis of the polycyclic compounds 14 and 18 from the keto aldehydes 13 and 17.
