A novel Rh(I)-catalyzed [(3 + 2) + 1] cycloaddition, which can be regarded as a homologous Pauson-Khand reaction, was developed to synthesize bicyclic cyclohexenones and cyclohexanones, enabling a new approach for synthesis of six-membered carbocycles ubiquitously found in natural products and pharmaceutics. The significance of the Rh-catalyzed [(3 + 2) + 1] cycloaddition has been demonstrated by the total synthesis of a furanoid sesquiterpene natural product, a-agarofuran, in which the bicyclic skeleton was constructed by the [(3 + 2) + 1] reaction of 1-yne-VCP and CO.

A novel Rh(I)-catalyzed formal [5 + 1]/[2 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of 1-yne-vinylcyclopropanes and two CO units for the construction of multifunctional angular tricyclic 5/5/6 skeletons with one or two adjacent bridgehead quaternary all-carbon stereocenters in one step has been developed. Preliminary density functional theory calculations have been carried out to investigate the reaction mechanism and
