Abstract

An electron-deficient CpE rhodium(III) complex bearing a cyclopentadienyl ligand with two ethyl ester substituents catalyzes the tandem [2+2+2] annulation–lactamization of acetanilides with two alkynoates via cleavage of adjacent two C−H bonds to give densely substituted benzo[cd]indolones. The reactions of meta-methoxy-substituted acetanilides with two alkynoates also provided benzo[cd]indolones via cleavage of adjacent C−H/C−O bonds. Furthermore, 3,5-dimethoxyacetanilides reacted with two alkynoates to give dearomatized spiro compounds.
