[2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions involving allenes catalysed by rhodium

The development of new chemical processes for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds is an important topic in organic chemistry. In particular, the transition metal catalysed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction is a highly efficient synthetic tool that allows six-membered polysubstituted carbo- and heterocyclic derivatives to be obtained in an atom economy process. Allenes are versatile substrates for cycloaddition reactions that provide a good reactivity profile together with the ability to increas...
