Selective transformations of phenylated diynes to polycyclic compounds by the RhCl3- and PtCl4-Aliquat 336 ion pair catalysts

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(96)00394-8

The ion pairs generated from methyltricaprylammonium chloride and either RhCl₃ or PtCl₄ catalyze, under phase transfer conditions, selective cyclorearrangements, as well as intra- and intermolecular addition processes by which discre
