The formal (4+3) cycloaddition of 1,3-dienes with Rh(II) and Au(I) non-acceptor vinyl carbenes, generated from vinylcycloheptatrienes or alkoxyenynes, respectively, leads to 1,4-cycloheptadienes featuring complex and diverse substitution patterns, including natural dyctiopterene C' and a hydroxylated derivative of carota-1,4-diene. A complete mechanistic picture is presented, in which Au(I) and Rh(II) non-acceptor vinyl carbenes were shown to undergo a vinylcyclopropanation/Cope rearrangement or ...[more]
