The mechanism underlying the rhodium-(III)-catalyzed reaction of the C-H alkenylation/annulation reaction of salicylaldehydes with enynes was thoroughly investigated using DFT calculations. The study revealed that with acetate assistance, a stepwise S(N)2' cyclization, 1,3-Rh migration, beta-H elimination, and reductive elimination process occur. Substitution at C-alpha was also found to play a role in the reaction.
The mechanism underlying the rhodium-(III)-catalyzed reaction of the C-H alkenylation/annulation reaction of salicylaldehydes with enynes has been thoroughly investigated using DFT calculations. Based on mechanistic studies, our focus primarily lies on the regioselectivity of asymmetric alkynes inserting into the Rh-C bond and the involvement of the auxiliary group OAc- in these reactions. Our theoretical study uncovers that, with acetate assistance, a stepwise S(N)2' cyclization, 1,3-Rh migration, beta-H elimination, and reductive elimination process occur. Furthermore, we also explore the role of substitution at C-alpha (CH3 vs H) in the reaction. As demonstrated in this work, these findings are applicable to other related reactions.
