The straightforward synthesis of isochromene derivatives and related cyclic ethers is achieved by the rhodium-catalyzedoxidativecoupling of α,α-disubstituted benzyl and allyl alcohols with alkynes. The hydroxy groups effectively act as the key function for the regioselective C–H bond cleavage.

‐Cyclopenta‐ dienyl)Rhodium(III) Catalyst under Ambient Conditions
It has been established that a dinuclear (electron‐deficient η5‐cyclopentadienyl)rhodium(III) complex catalyzes the oxidative annulation of tertiary benzyl alcohols with internal alkynes via sp2CH/OHfunctionalization under ambient conditions (at room temperature under air) to give substituted isochromenes in good yields. The preference for annulation across electron‐rich substrates over electron‐deficient
