Alkenes Wilkinson’s catalyst

In an intramolecular Mizoroki-Heck-type alkenylation of alkenes, Wilkinson s catalyst [RhCl(PPh3)3] (84) proved superior than other rhodium compounds (Scheme 10.29) [56]. Notably, the selectivities of the cyclization of various 2-bromo-1,6-dienes were found to be improved with Wilkinson s catalyst when compared with those observed with palladium complexes. Thereby, the corresponding l,2-bis(methylene)cyclopentanes, which themselves are valuable substrates for further cycloaddition reactions, such as 1,3-diene 86, could be isolated in high yields.
