Alkynes react with organoborons under a CO atmosphere in the presence of a rhodium(I) catalyst to afford mainly 5-aryl-2(5H)-furanones, α,β-unsaturated ketones, and indanones. The product selectivity can be tuned by modifying the reaction conditions.
An efficient protocol for the synthesis of indenones has been developed from the annulation of benzoic esters and internal alkynes by exploiting cobalt catalyst.

A ferrocene‐initiated oxidativecyclization of benzaldehyde with alkyne was successfully developed as a novel strategy for the direct access to substituted indenones in high yields. The commercially available and cheap ferrocene was employed as an initiator.
