Asymmetriccycloisomerization of nitrogen-bridged1,6-enynes proceeded in the presence of a cationic rhodium complex coordinated with a chiral diene/phosphine tridentate ligand to give high yields of chiral 3-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptenes with high enantioselectivity.
A series of new secondary phosphine oxide (SPO)–gold(I) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complexes exhibited dimeric structures interconnected by O–H···Cl hydrogen bonds. Their first use in homogeneous catalysis is reported and suggests a broad field of application in prototypical enyne cycloisomerization and hydroxy- and methoxycyclization reactions.
