Catalytic 4-exo-dig carbocyclization for the construction of furan-fused cyclobutanones and synthetic applications

Abstract Cyclobutanone is a strained motif with broad applications, while direct assembly of the aromatic ring fused cyclobutanones beyond benzocyclobutenone (BCB) skeletons remains challenging. Herein, we report a Rh-catalyzed formal [3+2] annulation of diazo group tethered alkynes involving a 4-ex...
