Selective synthesis of 2-pyridones and pyrimidine-2,4-diones by neutral rhodium(I) complex-catalyzed cyclocotrimerization of alkynes and isocyanates

A neutral rhodium(I) complex, ‘RhCl(PPh 3) 2’ generated by the combination of [RhCl(C 2H 4) 2] 2 with a fourfold amount of PPh 3, effectively catalyzed the cyclocotrimerization of alkynes ( 1) and isocyanates ( 2) to give 2-pyridones ( 3) and/or pyrimidine-2,4-diones ( 4), selectively, by controllin...

Summary:A neutral rhodium(I) complex, ‘RhCl(PPh 3) 2’ generated by the combination of [RhCl(C 2H 4) 2] 2 with a fourfold amount of PPh 3, effectively catalyzed the cyclocotrimerization of alkynes ( 1) and isocyanates ( 2) to give 2-pyridones ( 3) and/or pyrimidine-2,4-diones ( 4), selectively, by controlling the molar ratio of alkynes ( 1) and isocyanates ( 2).
