The calculations indicate that the spiroannulation through the proposed C-C reductive elimination is kinetically unfeasible, Instead, the C-C coupling from the eight-membered rhodacycle was proposed to account for the experimental results. The overall catalytic cycle consists of six steps： （1） the keto-enol isomerization; （2） the O-H deprotonation, （3） the C（sp^2）-H bond cleavage; （4） the migratory insertion of alkyne into the Rh-C bond; （5） the C-C coupling and （6） the regeneration of the active catalyst.展开更多
