The dinuclear complex [Rh(μ-Cl)(η<sup>2</sup> -coe)(IPr)]<sub>2</sub> is an efficient catalyst for the O-selective Markovnikov-type addition of 2-pyridones to terminal alkynes. DFT calculations support a hydride-free pathway entailing intramolecular oxidative protonation of a π-alkyne by a κ<sup>1</sup> N-hydroxypyridine ligand. Subsequent O-nucleophilic attack on a metallacyclopropene species affords an O-alkenyl-2-oxypyridine chelate rhodium intermediate as the catalyst resting state. The rele ...[more]
