Rhenium-Catalyzed Insertion of Terminal Acetylenes into a C−H Bond of Active Methylene Compounds

Abstract
A rhenium complex, [ReBr(CO)3(thf)]2, catalyzed the intermolecular reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with terminal acetylenes and gave the corresponding alkenyl derivatives in excellent yields. These reactions could apply to an intramolecular version and gave the corresponding cyclic compounds quantitatively.
