Abstract: Theoretical calculations have been performed to investigate the mechanism and stereoselectivity of rhodium-catalysed intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition for construction of a substituted hexahydropentalene complex. A new C-C bond cleavage mechanism, retro-Aldol-type, is proposed and verified for… read more here.
