Abstract
The rhodium(I)-catalyzed carbonylative annulation of iodobenzenes with strained olefins in the presence of furfural as a carbonyl source, accompanied by ortho-C–H bond cleavage, is reported. The use of 4-octyne in place of strained olefins also leads to the formation of the corresponding inden-9-one. The timely release of the carbonyl moiety via the rhodium-catalyzed decarbonylation of furfural plays a decisive role in this reaction. (Figure presented.).
