A Co(0)-catalyzed intramolecular alkyne/benzocyclobutenone coupling through C-C cleavage of benzocyclobutenones is described. Co<sub>2</sub>(CO)<sub>8</sub>/P[3, 5-(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>]<sub>3</sub> was discovered to be an effective metal/ligand combination, which exhibits complementary catalytic activity to the previously established rhodium catalyst. In particular, the C8-substituted substrates failed in the Rh system, but succeeded with the Co catalysis. Exper ...[more]
