The use of α,ω-dienes as functionalization reagents for olefinic carbon-hydrogen bonds has been rarely studied. Reported herein is the rhodium(I)-catalyzed rearrangement of prochiral 1,6-heptadienes into [2,2,1]-cycloheptane derivatives with concomitant creation of at least three stereogenic centers and complete diastereocontrol. Deuterium-labeling studies and the isolation of a key intermediate are consistent with a group-directed C-H bond activation, followed by two consecutive migratory inser ...[more]
