Abstract
A convenient three-component coupling reaction for the construction of conjugated enynes using rhodium catalysis is reported. Dimerization of a monosubstituted alkyne followed by trapping of the vinyl metal intermediate with an electron-deficient alkene, such as methyl vinyl ketone, provided moderate to good yields of these enynes. The use of the hindered electron-rich tris(ortho-tolyl)phosphine as a ligand for the rhodium catalyst provided the best conversions to these complex products.
