Abstract

Aminocyclopropanes equipped with suitable N-directing groups undergo efficient and regioselective Rh-catalyzed carbonylative C-C bond activation. Trapping of the resultant metallacycles with tethered alkynes provides an atom-economic entry to diverse N-heterobicyclic enones. These studies provide a blueprint for myriad N-heterocyclic methodologies.
