Synthesis of Silacyclohexanones from Divinylsilanes and Allylamines by a Rh-Catalyzed Cyclization
An efficient synthesis of silacyclohexanones bearing a variety of silyl substituents has been developed by a [Rh(coe)2Cl]2/PCy3-catalyzed cyclization of divinylsilanes with Jun’s allylamine. The silacyclohexanones can be o
