  • 14 Intramolecular [3+2] Cycloaddition; Typical ProcedureTo a mixture of Rh(CO)(PMe3)2Cl (3.2 mg, 0.01 mmol, 5 mol%) and AgOTf (2.6 mg, 0.01 mmol, 5 mol%) was added DCE (2 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature under argon for 5 min. A solution of 1a (0.2 mmol) in DCE (2 mL) was added at room temperature, and the resulting solution was immersed into a preheated oil bath and stirred at 80 °C. After 20 h, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to afford the [3+2] cycloadduct 2a. Run 1: 1a (67.5 mg) was converted into 2a (49.8 mg), yield 74%. Run 2: 1a (66.7 mg) was converted into 2a (48.1 mg), yield 72%.
