Abstract

The silylcarbobicyclization of 4,4-disubstituted 1,6-heptadiynes with tert-butyldimethylsilane catalyzed by Rh(acac)(CO)2, Co2Rh2(CO)12, or (t-BuNC)4RhCo(CO)4 under 50 atm of carbon monoxide gives the corresponding novel 7,7-disubstituted 2-silylbicyclo[3.3.0]octa-1,5-dien-3-ones in good yields. A possible mechanism is proposed. The unique feature of this strained skeleton is discussed on the basis of 13C NMR and X-ray crystallographic analyses.
