A Rh(i)-catalyzed highly stereoselective desymmetrization of 2-alkynylbenzaldehyde-tethered cyclohexadienones triggered by intramolecular Huisgen-type [3 + 2] cycloaddition has been developed. This method enables convergent construction of complex epoxy-bridged polycyclic ring systems with five contiguous stereocenters with excellent <i>exo</i>-selectivity and broad substrate scope. The highly atom-economical process involves 6-<i>endo</i>-dig cyclization of carbonyl oxygen onto an activated alk ...[more]
