Synthesis of cross-conjugated trienes by rhodiumcatalyzed dimerization of monosubstituted allenes

Abstract

A rhodium(I)/dppe catalyst promoted dimerization of monosubstituted allenes in a stereoselective manner to give cross-conjugated trienes, which are different from those obtained by a palladium catalyst. © 2011 Miura et al; licensee Beilstein-Institut.
