Rh-catalysed carbocyclisations of the 1,6-enynes 1-8 efficiently gave bicyclo[3.3.0]octenones in neat glycerol. Unexpectedly, ligand-free [Rh(-OMe)(cod)](2) was highly selective. Moreover, TPPTS [tris(3-sulfonatophenyl)phosphane trisodium salt] improved the catalyst performance at low Rh/L ratios, but surprisingly, ligand excess blocked the reaction. Detailed NMR studies evidenced the role of glycerol in the catalytic process.
