A rhodium‐catalyzed asymmetricsynthesis of silicon‐stereogenic dibenzosiloles has been developed through a [2+2+2] cycloaddition of silicon‐containing prochiral triynes with internal alkynes. High yields and enantioselectivities have been achieved by employing an axially chiral monophosphine ligand, and the present catalysis is also applicable to the asymmetricsynthesis of a germanium‐stereogenic
A hydroamination-double hydroarylation cascade using aniline derivatives bearing a trienyne moiety as the substrate was efficiently promoted by a gold(I) catalyst to produce benzo[a]naphtho [2,1-c]carbazole derivatives in good yields. This reaction is applicable to various substituted trienyne-type anilines, including 2,3-diethynylthiophene derivatives. The reaction of anilines bearing a tetraenyne and pentaenyne moiety allows direct construction of highly fused carbazoles by tetra- and pentacyclization, respectively, through hydroamination and consecutive hydroarylation without producing any theoretical waste products from the substrates.
